Fishers Island East, NY

We walked all through the charming village of Noank on Saturday morning, July 12 passing by some rather historical buildings. 

Stopping at the very quaint Carson’s Store, we got a real taste of the local scene.



That morning we went back and forth trying to decide whether we should stay at our mooring in Noank or take a quick trip back over to Fishers Island and explore the east end of it. Always game to try something new, we decided to head over there. We sent our thanks to our mooring host and headed over to Fishers Island at 2:30.

A quick 40 minutes later we arrived at the lovely bay on the east and more exclusive end of the island. As expected, there were quite a few boats anchored on a beautiful summer weekend but we knew most of them were day trippers and would be gone before dark.  We anchored on the perimeter of the area and planned to move later that afternoon so we could be closer to shore. Jonny is still having to row Archie in because our outboard is in the shop for repairs. 

Later that afternoon, after moving Zendo closer in, Jonny rowed Archie in for a walk. There was a small beach where he could pull up but the surrounding area was private and inaccessible.

In the meantime, I made dinner and when they returned we relaxed on board.  It was a lovely evening and we were in a beautiful and tranquil setting so we were happy with our decision to come here.  We knew we were going to be very busy the next few days because we would be in Mystic for the MTOA Rendezvous with lots of other people and a wide array of scheduled activities (quite different from our usual routine)!
