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.
