Northport, NY

It was time to leave City Island after almost a week in the marina taking respite from the beastly heat.  We left the marina at 11 on Friday, June 27 bound for Northport on Long Island.  However, Long Island Sound was quite choppy and rough so we decided to go to Oyster Bay instead because it was a little closer.  Archie clung to me the entire passage!

Fortunately the temperatures had cooled considerably and it was a good 30 degrees cooler than it had been earlier in the week.

 We arrived in Oyster Bay at 2 and anchored in a comfortable spot not too far from shore.  This is a very calm and protected anchorage and quite beautiful. Oyster Bay is very affluent and it’s where Theodore Roosevelt had his home, Sagamore Hill.  We took Archie onto shore where we walked through this charming hamlet with many places named after or referencing Teddy Roosevelt. 

That evening we had leftover tuna pasta salad and spent a quiet night onboard in this peaceful and protected anchorage. Sorry for the lack of photos!
