And the Sand Hole is a stop for boats transiting the Sound.


no, it isn't. It is a weekend stopping off point for drunken frat boys in
powerboats. a stop for those "transiting the Sound" is City Island, Port
Washington, Oyster Bay, Oyster Bay West Harbor (both near Sand Hole),
Northport, Port Jeff and **maybe** Matituck Inlet, plus all those rocky,
exposed anchorages on the CT shore.

Any transits figuring to use Sand Hole at a stop point has rocks for brains.

You seem to be in a really bad mood today. Transients do indeed stop at the
Sand Hole. Also, your characterization of the usual, crowd there as "drunken
frat boys" is way off the mark.

That list omits Eatons Neck, [barely] accessible at all tides to our
7-ft draft. It also has power boats in the day time, although none I
would describe as "drunken frat boys."

The only disturbance at night is the CG station, and they don't make a
lot of noise.
