In the process of planning a possible spring and/or summer cruise in
Long Island Sound and nearby, after shipping "Gambier," a Eastbay
43, drawing four feet, by truck from Ft. Lauderdale to probably
northern NJ for offloading and pick-up, I am asking for suggestions
and comments about:

How early ought one to begin a cruise on the Sound?
Crowdedness in general on the Sound?
Crowdedness in ??? ports, marinas, anchorages?
Better and best anchorages and marinas?
Better and best villages, towns and cities to visit, and why?
Best fuel (deisel) sources?
Your best comments and advise re cruising Long Island Sound?
Thanks much.

Hi Ed, nice to see you back on the group after a long absence. Re LIS, I
can heartily recommend that you pick up one (or more) of the 10 or 20
cruising guides available for the area (since it is one of the most heavily
traveled areas in existence).

Then report back after you have digested all of the easily available
information that the rest of us have studied for the last 20 or so years.

I hope you have had a very pleasant holiday season.

Best regards,

Armond
