LIS is lots more interesting, and the South Shore harbor entrances can become
real nasty in F-4 or F-5 winds. Lots of shallow water there as well. There is
a reason there are few sailboats on the South Shore.

If you don't want to do LIS, try Greenport, Sag Harbor, Coecles Harbor, Derring
Harbor, Block Island, Montauk and a whole bunch of places on the eastern end of
LI.

That's easy to do but I want to see a lot of the interesting looking areas
inside the islands.

What I don't want to do is get miles down the intricate channels and then
find out that the only route has shoaled over in the channel so that only an
outboard can go through or that one of the bascule bridge channels has
shoaled so that you can't get a sailboat over to the side where there is
clearance for the mast.

go offshore from the Verezonno Bridge to Montauk. If that is too much for
you
and your crew, go up the East River and out Long Island Sound, which has
hundreds of safe anchorages.
