September 20th Port Jefferson, NY

We spent the day in Port Jefferson for some R and R. I consider myself a New Englander but am a native of New Jersey. I have a confession to make. I prefer Manhattan Clam Chowder over New England Clam Chowder (ducks head when some swamp Yankee throws a Sam Adams at his head). I plan on having several more bowls before I’m out of the tri-state area.

Had an enjoyable day in town. Oliver’s got some frisbee time in. It’s a pretty dog friendly port.

I guess PT Barnham lived here.

September 21st Oyster Bay, NY

We sailed from Port Jefferson to Oyster Bay, NY. Sailing down Long Island Sound we could see NYC off in the distance. Stamford CT was also close by. Long Island in comparison, is very rural with a seemingly unspoiled coast line. Sandy beaches and trees (and mansions). We’re anchored in a secluded cove far from town for the night. Onward to Port Washington tomorrow.

Did I mention, I caught my first fish in about 35 years today?
