I was invited along to go on one of the East End Lighthouses Organization tours. The tour was set to begin early 9 am out of the Orient Point docks, from the eastern most point on the north fork of Long Island. It started out as a gloomy day and we had a quick 5 minute shower right before I got to the docks but it turned into absolutely a great day. Now the weather obviously cooperated but what really make the day was the staff. The East End Lighthouse staff did a great job, they also brought in the best staff for both the food and the ship. I believe Cross Island Ferry company which I give you generously as a patron for my trips to Connecticut donated the boat, the food was also fantastic and plentiful.

Back to the trip. The ride was taken to almost all of the lighthouses around the east end of Long Island. They were great, good stories and lot of facts about each lighthouse. If you ever do the trip pay attention though because there was an actual quiz at the end.
