PORT JEFFERSON, NY

SATURDAY, JULY 30, 2022

A gorgeous trip today: blue skies, calm seas, riding the inbound tide eastward into Long Island Sound.  We ran along Long Island’s north shore, past towering sand cliffs and rocky promontories.

Port Jeff is a HUGE harbor, miles long and miles across, surrounded by undeveloped beaches.  

We are staying at the Port Jefferson Yacht Club.  I’m not sure about the club facilities in general, but the dock crew is pathetic.  Good thing we can handle ourselves.  

Today, we had to walk about 25 minutes to re-provision the boat.  And wash her down from all the salt spray.  There is really quite a lot of work behind this pleasure cruise.

Tonight, we’re dining at Danford’s, the next-door marina.  Next time, I’ll dock there as well.

BTW, we had a response regarding my post about how I repaired the water pump by rapping it with the flashlight.  Phil, a former TWA pilot, and a friend of ours at Hershey’s Mill, wrote to say that “In the airlines industry, this is known as ‘malletizing’”.   LOL
