City Island, NY (return trip)

After taking Archie for a walk, we left Milford at 8:30 on Saturday, October 8.  We had a comfortable cruise to City Island. Along the way we passed sailboat races in Stamford, Greenwich and Larchmont. There were scores of magnificent racing yachts resplendent in the vibrant colors of their sails.









We arrived at the Harlem Yacht Club in City Island at 3:10 and tied up to a mooring. We like staying at this yacht club - it has a nice, old-fashioned bar, lovely grounds and friendly people.




Our plan was to stay two nights and we were deciding what special activity we would do on Sunday.  Options under consideration included the Bronx Zoo, the Botanical Gardens or maybe going into NYC.

The launch picked us up and we walked Archie down the main drag in town passing all the familiar storefronts and restaurants we’ve come to know.




When we returned to Zendo, Jonny did some more trip planning and realized that we needed to get to Atlantic City by Wednesday where he and a buddy were going to install the new inverter on Zendo.  The weather is expected to deteriorate by Thursday so we really don’t have time to spend another day here in City Island (even though he had already paid for two nights).  No matter, we will just have a credit for the next time we come.  So we just took it easy and had lots of delicious leftovers for dinner.

The big excitement of the day was learning that Stephanie and Ryan got a new Welsh Corgi puppy!  They drove out to Amish country to see four puppies but they fell in love with the first one they met.   She is eleven weeks old and absolutely adorable! They wanted a female as they already had a name picked out.  Meet Eloise!  Now their kitty, Sasha, will have to learn how to live with some competition!






We decided that we would leave the next day for Sheepshead Bay in Brooklyn and were rewarded with another beautiful sunset.
