North Eastern Boating
 
For about 3 or 4 months of the year some of the finest cruising and
boating to be found anywhere is in the north eastern United States:
Southern New York state; parts of the New Jersey shore; Connecticut;
Rhode Island; Massachusetts and Maine. We've brought the trawler
north from Florida for the summer with the plan of revisiting some of
our old favorite places here and perhaps finding some new ones.

For the last two days we've been anchored near the north end of City
Island, literally within a few hundred yards of where I purchased my
first real sailboat in the fall of 1971. City Island is an
interesting place. It is within the far north eastern limits of New
York City but has an ambience more reminiscent of New England. At one
time it was a major boat building center. As recently as the late
1970s it was possible to drive down the main street and observe large
sailing yachts under construction. There are also a large number of
sea food restaurants, some of which come and go, and some that have
been around for a lifetime. A restaurant called the Lobster Box has
been here just about forever and their menu offers lobster served in
23 different ways. Plan to arrive early on Friday and Saturday nights.
A lot of the old shipyards have been replaced by condo developments
but there are still large marinas and yacht clubs on both sides of the
island. Literally hundreds of boats are moored nearby and there is a
lot of water activity, even on week days.

Where we are anchored is particularly scenic, literally surrounded by
little rocky out croppings, tree covered islands and fine homes on the
distant hazy shoreline of Westchester County. It would be easy to
spend an entire summer in this one place but we'll be moving farther
east soon. Long Island Sound beckons with fine harbors on both the NY
and Connecticut shores. We spent many years living near the Sound in
the New Rochelle and Larchmont areas, both beautiful shore side
communities. Our boats were moored a few miles east in Stamford, CT
which is a major center of sail boat racing in Western LIS. It was a
good place to spend our working and child raising years offering easy
access to the water, good schools and a relatively easy commute into
New York City.

Moving east beyond Long Island Sound are other major boating venues:
Newport, Rhode Island; Block Island; Marthas Vineyard; Nantucket; Cape
Cod; Buzzards Bay; the Elizabeth Islands and more. Much more, too
much to discuss today but I'll post some updates from time to time as
we move east over the summer.

Anyone interested in following along can see our current location and
where we've been recently:

It is nice.

I get to do a little ham radio activity on the boat also. Conditions
are on the upswing. Had a brief chat with a station in Yokohama,
Japan two days ago on 17 meters. He was loud and clear, just like
next door, not bad for 150 watts and a 23 ft vertical whip antenna.
We also try to check into the Maritime Mobile Service Net on 14300 KHz
once a day. They're a great bunch of guys and provide a real service
to cruisers.

You boys should get together for a beer summit ;-)

Maybe if we found out everyone didn't have horns we would get along
better here.


==================

All we have to do is forget about religion and politics... :-)

Ar one time there was sort of a defacto agreement in amateur radio
circles that those two topics were off limits. Of course that was
then, and this is now.

Yeah Wayne, that tracker is pretty cool.. I was just looking at maps of
NYC a year or so back wondering if you could cut right through. I
thought I heard years ago (probably around 9/11, that the routes through
were closed.

Are there any locks or gates to go through as you enter LIS?

Nice comments. But you forgot to mention the beautiful vista of Co-op
City and the huge landfill in front of it and the ever noisy police
firing range close by and Boom Box City aka Johnny's Reef at the end of
the island.


He probably wanted to keep all the fun to himself;)... Somehow you can
remove yourself from all that when you are in a boat from my limited
experience.

If I read you correctly, it's a straight shot from The Narrows opposite Sandy
Hook to City Island via New York Harbor and the East River. No locks or low
bridges or gates. Stay to the west of Roosevelt Avenue and choose your time to
ride the flood up the river through Hellgate. Hang a right at Flushing Bay and
take a slip at World's Fair Marina hard by the Citi Field baseball stadium and
the No. 7 subway line direct to Times Square. The marina monitors VHF 71.

The passage was limited but not closed long after 9/11. You had to leave
Roosevelt Island to the east through a low-span drawbridge.


Cool... It's been a lifelong dream to make a trip down the CT River and
down to the city. Unfortunately right now I only have a 16 foot work
skiff so it may be a while before I ever make that trip;)

Nice comments. But you forgot to mention the beautiful vista of Co-op
City and the huge landfill in front of it and the ever noisy police
firing range close by and Boom Box City aka Johnny's Reef at the end of
the island.


We were anchored far enough north from Johnny's Reef that it didn't
bother us. The NYPD firing range at Rodman's Neck is very much a
part of the City Island experience however, as are the low flying jets
on final approach to Laguardia Airport. The firing range would start
to warm up in late afternoon and sounded like strings of Chinese
firecrackers going off in the distance. On some days very late in the
afternoon, they would practice with automatic weapons and you'd hear
entire clips of ammo going off within a few seconds.

Getting to the
city from City Island is by comparison a hassle.


Yes, it is an epic multi media adventure involving busses and subways
through some of the less desirable parts of the city. We discovered
that the hard way back in the 70s when we were becalmed one afternoon
in our old Soling with no auxillary power. Eventually the wind filled
in enough to get us back but by then the marina had closed down for
the night and our car was locked inside. Not wanting to spend the
night either in the car or the Soling (small, open cockpit sailboat
with no cabin), we set about getting back into Manhattan the hard way.

Yeah Wayne, that tracker is pretty cool.. I was just looking at maps of
NYC a year or so back wondering if you could cut right through. I
thought I heard years ago (probably around 9/11, that the routes through
were closed.


Are there any locks or gates to go through as you enter LIS?


If I read you correctly, it's a straight shot from The Narrows opposite Sandy
Hook to City Island via New York Harbor and the East River. No locks or low
bridges or gates. Stay to the west of Roosevelt Avenue and choose your time to
ride the flood up the river through Hellgate. Hang a right at Flushing Bay and
take a slip at World's Fair Marina hard by the Citi Field baseball stadium and
the No. 7 subway line direct to Times Square. The marina monitors VHF 71.


The passage was limited but not closed long after 9/11. You had to leave
Roosevelt Island to the east through a low-span drawbridge.


Cool... It's been a lifelong dream to make a trip down the CT River and
down to the city. Unfortunately right now I only have a 16 foot work
skiff so it may be a while before I ever make that trip;)

SPOT trackers are really cool for keeping family and friends updated as to
your travels. Not really a PLB, in that it doesn't call the emergency
system, and has some severe limitations WRT the ability to be used in a
marine emergency situation (antenna position, waterproof, etc.), but a neat
tool

To get tracking shown on a web page, you have to subscribe at ~150/year, but
if you're on a passage, it does allow folks to see where you are, the
progress you're making, and so on. Clicking the hybrid tab in the top right
of the screen gives you satellite views overlaid on a map view, too, so if
you're coastwise or islandwise, folks can see what you're going around if
there are nasty bits you needed to avoid, mostly of interest to marine-type
geeks/interested parties.

We use it on all our water-borne movements, and used to use it on land so
that those who were wondering how we were doing WRT getting to them could
see our progress, as well. The unit takes a GPS reading every 10 minutes or
so, and uploads them to SPOT's satellite(s?) whenever one goes over, so you
may not be able to see "real time" updates - but for the large view, it's
fine.

Highly recommended from this quarter :{))

Skip, currently ashore wrestling with a real estate loan disaster before
returning to the boat where we'll complete our refit and get under way
again, with hopes that our self-insured vessel isn't involved in a hurricane
where we now are, an unsafe yard for such conditions, before such event...

NYC a year or so back wondering if you could cut right through. I
thought I heard years ago (probably around 9/11, that the routes through
were closed.

Are there any locks or gates to go through as you enter LIS?

If I read you correctly, it's a straight shot from The Narrows opposite Sandy
Hook to City Island via New York Harbor and the East River. No locks or low
bridges or gates. Stay to the west of Roosevelt Avenue and choose your time to
ride the flood up the river through Hellgate. Hang a right at Flushing Bay and
take a slip at World's Fair Marina hard by the Citi Field baseball stadium and
the No. 7 subway line direct to Times Square. The marina monitors VHF 71.

The passage was limited but not closed long after 9/11. You had to leave
Roosevelt Island to the east through a low-span drawbridge.

Cool... It's been a lifelong dream to make a trip down the CT River and
down to the city. Unfortunately right now I only have a 16 foot work
skiff so it may be a while before I ever make that trip;)
