Re: Stus-List Pegathy's New England Voyage
Maybe 6 knots. Usually 4.5-5 But yes no sense fighting it It is the East River and LIS junction (not Hudson) Jersey Shore the people are to be more feared than the weather.

Re: Stus-List Pegathy's New England Voyage
I have cruised Buzzards Bay, the Islands and Narraganset fairly extensively over the years. Great suggestions from Damian. I would add my favorites... Quissett : beautiful little harbor north east of Woods Hole. Long walk or trolley bus to Woods Hole Hadley Harbor: opposite Woods Hole - no landing on islands but really peaceful place to anchor or pick up free moorings if available Menemsha: call early in the morning to make a mooring reservation. Very limited but the do allow up to three maybe four boats on each of the moorings inside. Coecles Harbor (east side of Shelter Island). Channel narrow and not a lot of depth - go in / out on a rising tide!! But once in, several options. I generally anchor on the left side going in. -- Jonathan Indigo CC 35III SOUTHPORT CT On May 22, 2015, at 06:49, Damian Greene via CnC-List cnc-list@cnc-list.com wrote: Dan, I used to be based in Westbrook CT, so here are my recommendations for Eastern Long Island Sound. This is based on several summer cruises on our CC 34 with wife and two younger teenagers. Westbrook - slip at Brewer's. Huge full-service yard. Pool, showers, restaurant (expensive). Gas BBQ grills and picnic tables at the head of each dock. There is a picnic area at the channel entrance with gas grills, picnic tables, and a clubhouse with kitchen facilities and a TV room. Great spot to hang out in the evening and watch the boat traffic. That was our regular hangout. Mystic - slip at Brewer's. On the right, just before the railroad bridge.

Be careful to stay in the channel, and do NOT try to cut left of the rockpile at the entrance to Noank (you'll see what I mean - there's a confusing dogleg). Get ice-cream at the store by the lifting bridge. Of course the Seaport Museum. In general, any Brewer's yard along LIS is a good stopover. Shelter Island - good moorings at Piccozzi's Dering Harbor Marina. Decent showers. Nice small town with decent bars and restaurants. Explore the island by bike - rentals at Piccozzi's garage. Fun trip in through Plum Gut. Newport - we would stay at Dutch Harbor. Moorings for rent, launch service, showers and laundry. Walk to foodstore and restaurants. Harbor shuttle across to Newport. More peaceful than craziness of Newport. Martha's Vineyard - we were disappointed with available moorings. The best we found were in Vineyard Haven. Services not great, and serious wakes from car-ferries. Still, the Vineyard is a must-see. Rent a Jeep. Go to the Jaws locations. Block Island - Great Salt Pond. Rather than scramble for town moorings, we would book a slip at Champlin's Marina. In reality, you're likely rafted, and it gets very congested with powerboats at weekends. Still, it is a fun experience. Decent pool, bars, takeout pizza, cinema (for kids), all without leaving the marina. And then of course there's Block to explore! Rent bikes. Great beaches. Cuttyhunk is our favorite destination. If you get there on time, there are town moorings in the inner harbor. Otherwise, plenty of moorings available outside, but with more wave action. Beautiful island. No cars, one small restaurant, boat goes around each evening selling fresh shellfish and lobsters. Great beaches (at harbor entrance, and over the bar at the far side). Channel can be tricky, so be careful. Last time we were there, we watched another sailboat solidly aground on a falling tide. No fun. Cape Cod Canal is a beautiful ride. Make sure to time your transits with the tides. Some serious wave action on the southern entrance - you'll be surfing in, then it gets flat.

Re: Stus-List Pegathy's New England Voyage
My only suggestion running around cape cod and the neighbouring islands is to have your tide and pilot book and try to time your passages with the currents. They run up to 3 knots and can really slow your progress. If you go through the canal the current can run up to 6 knots.

Re: Stus-List Pegathy's New England Voyage
Menemsha is lovely bring your camera! The vacation place of Obama. Also on the breakwater you may see gigantic fat naked short-haired lesbians with large tattoos basking on the rocks attempting to mate. Avert your eyes! Or not as your preference may be.

Re: Stus-List Pegathy's New England Voyage
Strong recommendation for Delaware City Marina if you're looking/willing to tie up for a night. Call Tim ahead of time and he'll help you time the CD and the approach to his marina. Word of caution, the currents in the CD can push upwards of 3 knots and same for the Delaware Bay. It's much faster to run with them than against!
