In my last post I mentioned Niantic. While hauling up the anchor in Block Island, I had a brief conversation with another cruiser (also heading south), they mentioned a nice harbor called North Cove in Old Saybrook, CT. We pulled out the chart and changed plans. It is on the Connecticut river and is relatively easy to navigate into.

The ride across Block Island sound and Long Island sound was a turbulent one. The wind was behind us again. Catalpa was surfing down the backs of waves at 7+ knots. We made great time. Captain and crew were a little tired but North Cove is a beautiful spot to rest.

This forbidding structure is Race rock light house, at the entrance to LI Sound

These 2 lighthouses are at the entrance to Saybrook (The purpose of this blog is Not to document every lighthouse we see!)

Here a couple shots of the happy crew at North Cove.

Today (September 19th) we sailed on to Port Jefferson, Long Island NY. It’s been a pretty long day due to a lack of wind. We anchored in a quiet spot away from town. Tomorrow we plan on staying here for an extra day to rest and explore.
