Only went in to that Eaton's Neck hole once. Didn't like it. Struck me as
spooky.


Yes. What makes it spooky is that you don't hear any motor vehicles or
trains--very unusual on Long Island. That is because the surrounding
land is a nature preserve. There actually is a road to the CG station
on the other side of the hill, but you normally don't hear it.

The same is true of the Sand Hole. It is part of Caumsett State Park. There is
no road or railroad track within miles. You can only walk in over an ancient
planked path or along the Sound side beach or ge there by boat. When the power
boats go home it is utterly silent but not the least bit spooky.

So something else makes Eatons spooky for you? I find it a delightful
spot, especially after the motor boats have gone home.

In any case this thread has made clear that I have no hope of getting
into the Sand Hole with 7-ft draft.
