Slept in. Still have a cough. Breakfast to go from Canteen: breakfast burrito with pico de gallo, large coffee with half and half ($16). Enjoyed my meal at the beach. Back to the dock, watched the 11:00 ferry leave. Encountered Dan, followed him home to say goodbye to Alex and Michael. Packed. Last-minute sunbathing on the rooftop deck at The Madison. Wifi speed test: 6.43 Mbps down, 3.75 Mbps up—nice. Shower. Checked out of The Madison wth Mike. Ferry from Fire Island Pines to Sayville. Shuttle van from the dock to the LIRR train station ($5). LIRR from Sayville Station to Jamaica Station ($9.75). On the train I caught up on journaling. Airtrain from Jamaica Station to JFK ($5). Meal at Blue Smoke: crispy chicken sandwich with fries, iced tea. About $21 before a $2 tip. Service was friendly but inattentive at key points. Virgin flight 29 from JFK to SFO. Arrived at SFO at 10:00 PM. Baggage claim. Uber home. Late meal: one tamale, cup of Whole Foods deli minestrone.
