Where to Cruise Summer 2004?
 
My choices for summer cruise (one or more months) in an Eastbay 43
a (1) Long Island Sound, both N and S coastlines; (2) Chesapeake
Bay, Portsmouth to just N of Annapolis, both E and W shores; or (3)
west coast of Florida, from Key West to Tarpon Springs.

Recommendations?

If you steal a gas credit card, you can probably fit them all in.

Good luck and good sailing.

Where to Cruise Summer 2004?
 
Myself, I'm again planning to cruise up the inside passage from Puget Sound
WA to Alaska. Hopefully all the way up to Glacier Bay.

Not two worry about fuel prices. I have 3 drums of fuel on hand right now..
Just have to pump and filter it in to the main storage tanks. That would be
about half my needs for the round trip. However I will watch for some good
prices along the way..

I'm not too worried about the cost of fuel or at least not enough to let it
effect my plans.. It's not as if I'm operating a fuel guzzler..

One of the advantages of option #1 is that a slight extension to your
stated itinerary easily brings you to scenic Block Island, truly a
jewel among "boat-friendly" communities and a great place to visit
(although a bit crowded on the weekends).

See you there,

Have you thought about the Hudson River? From NYC to Troy is very
enjoyable. Then there are the locks, if you really want to extend your
trip (slow through the locks!)The river has a lot to see, some nice
beach areas, fairly easy water to navigate, etc........ Bonus......you
can't get lost too easy. it's either north or south!
