After that we prepared for our very short cruise over to Port Washington, NY. We had gone there the year before for the first time and really liked the town. It is very friendly to boaters with inexpensive moorings and a convenient launch. We left City Island at 11:20 and tied up at our mooring by 11:55, a short 35 minute run!
After getting a pump-out by the mobile pump-out boat, we took our dinghy into shore for lunch. We decided to treat ourselves by making reservations at The Wild Goose restaurant which had an appealing menu and very good reviews. We started to walk up the hill into town. It was a mile walk but Archie started to limp a lot and he seemed to have something that really bothered his paw. In addition to that, it was getting very hot so we called an Uber to take us to the restaurant.
That was a good move and we were very pleased with our choice. The Wild Goose was lovely, the menu had lots of great choices and our waiter was great. Archie settled into a corner and was very well-behaved. We each had a drink and were very happy with our choices.
By the time we left, the heat had subsided just a bit, Archie’s paw was fine and we walked back to the dinghy which was downhill all the way!
Port Washington is also great for cruisers because it has lots of shopping with Stop ‘n Shop and Target nearby. We stopped for some provisions at Stop ‘n Shop before returning to Zendo where we read and napped for the rest of the afternoon. Our lunch was so substantial that there was no need for dinner. This was the longest day of the year and we were in a perfect spot to enjoy the waning light.
