July 21st & 22nd- Port Jefferson, NY

After docking for diesel fuel we departed Port Washington on an Easterly course for Port Jefferson. No wind appeared for most of our trip up the sound. We were able to get a sail up for the last hour or so.

On our trip South we anchored out. Port Jefferson is a big harbor with plenty of spots to drop the hook and places to beach a dinghy. Since our expenses have been good this month we decided to splurge and pay for a mooring at the Port Jefferson Yacht Club (PJYC). PJYC’s moorings are very close to a beach. Olliver loves the beach and swimming is about the only exercise he’s getting in this heat. The club also has a launch and showers. The admiral particularly likes the launch service. Unfortunately the harbor side municipal laundry is closed due to Covid.

Many people are wearing masks and taking precautions. This area was hit pretty hard with 40000 cases locally. We are being careful and travel with masks and hand sanitizer at all times.
