Bayside, Queens
Skip and Lydia sailed from their Friday night anchorage in Port Jeff,
straight down the rest of LIS non-stop, and are anchored in Little Neck Bay just off the yacht club in Bayside, Queens. They're in the big city now... Padlock your dinghy at all times! They choose a strange place to anchor in Port Jefferson. I'll bet they had a pretty roll-y night. I know several people gave them tips on much better spots. Hopefully we'll get a first hand report soon. |

Boaters are used to taking their dinghy to a dock, tieing it to a cleat and going ashore with no worries. Where they are now, that's a good way to get rid of a dinghy you don't want - in the blink of an eye. |

A few years back, I drove down from NE to look at a boat that was kept there.. I was very impressed. It isn't a short walk to the "city" but there is public trans and all. I"d love to sail to that area ... very nice. |

It's not the Bronx, but it's not what Skip is accustomed too, either. |

Spent more than one afternoon in a park there tripping on acid, watching the tide come in, and watching it go away again. Besides that, I remember Ditmars Ave. and O'Leary's Tap. Oh, I think LaGuardia Airport was across the river, or maybe it was a spaceport. It's all a little hazy. --Vic Skip is a bit east of there in Little Neck Bay. |

It was probably best. I was 23. A few of us took leave from the Navy to attend.... ....none of us told them, of course, where we were going! |

I would have thought that City Island might have been preferable. Little Neck Bay is fine for an overnight anchorage prior to getting an early start down the East River - much better protection from the prevailing winds and closer to Throggs Neck than City Island. I would not moor a boat there permanently however. A friend of mine did that for a few years back in the 80s and was broken into repeatedly. |

What if he didn't have shackles and thimbles for his dock lines??????? You can't dock in City Island without shackles and thimbles in your dock lines! |
