but you *did* say I am impressive when I was showing you, even though I wasn't
even trying either.


Yeah, you're really impressive.

BB

sorry to have embarrassed you, britchy bill. I really think it ordinary
stuff.
didn't mean to show you up.


You didn't.

BB

Let us know if you ever get within 1000 feet of the LIS.

two hours ago. In fact, I am a long stone's throw of the East River right now.

interesting
the former owner of my boat left this guide on board
the "new guide" does not compare
written like crap.......i'll try to remember to get the name of both.

There are a fair # of cruisng guides out there, Boat/US and West Marine
carry these items, should be available in your local stores, if you're
serious about cruisng in your area a purchase of one would be a good
investment.

Which are recommended? Years ago, there was a terrific "Cruising Guide to
Long Island Sound" written by a couple with a 23' wooden boat called Pee
Gee. Haven't seen anything comparable recently.

you know jax
you are very right
LIS ain't no big deal
it is an easy sail from anywhere to anywhere
that is what makes sailing LIS so great

So, deciding a ----------------- route ------------------

on LIS???? What a hoot! Let's see, should I take the Great Polar Route or
the
Southern Cross Rooote or the Majestic Central Meander Rout/oot?

and where to stop over will be the same
regardless of whether he can make 20 miles per day or 60? Okay.

of course. LIS ain't that wide. Pick your anchorage by where you are
when you
want to anchor. Ain't no big thing.


BB

OK BB,

I stand corrected . Great Peconic Bay, Little Peconic Bay, Gardiners
Bay.

I have to admit we called them the Peconics, when I live in Northville .
Jax is also correct. The Great Peconic Bay is damn shallow. Gardiners is
the only Bay with any depth inside Montauk and Orient

It's been so long ago. I should and will stay out of LIS discussions

Ole Thom

yeah, and anywhere you sail to is an interesting place to visit.

Shallow may not matter to the original poster. He described his boat as a
"mini-cruiser". It's quite possible that it is a trailer boat with a
centerboard.

not likely. if he had a trailer sailor he wanted to get to BI, he would tailer
it to somewhere close in CT or RI and daysail it over.

btw, centerboard boats typically draw more than fixed keel boats. but you knew
that, didn't you bill?

Meanwhile I have sailed on the LIS
every evening this week including this evening. I'll be out there tomorrow,
too.

BB

so how come you haven't figured out the LIS isn't wide enough to require "route
planning" yet? kinda dense are you?

Sorta like the dense that thinks Riverside Drive (note the capitalization) runs
along the East River??

Driving on Riverside drive is not sailing, any more than the East River is
the
LIS

nice, billie. you got out the charts. and they scared you.

btw, Mattituck Inlet, if you draw less than 4-1/2. but I said that already.

So, once again, I ask you to tell us how wide the LIS is...

You don't know, do you?

Meanwhile, when planning a cruise from City Island to Block Island in
a small sailboat, is there only one possible route? Would you go
inside or outside Fisher's Island? How about Duck Island Roads? Lord's
Passage looks like a great shortcut from one particular area to
another particular area. Is it? Do you need to take tides into
consideration when sailing anywhere between City Island and Block
Island? Where would you anchor on Long Island's North shore between
Mount Sinai and Plum Gut? According to your posts so far, you claim
that you can anchor anywhere you happen to be when you feel like
stopping.

You are a joke, but not the funny sort. You'd need a personality for
starters.

about 40 minutes.
