Port Jefferson, NY
Plan A was to head back to the Thimble Islands and anchor over night, and get up early and have a hearty breakfast on the porch in Stony Creek. Then I checked the weather forecast, and a second low pressure system was descending on us. The Thimbles are lovely, but not the place you want to be in a blow. So we changed our minds and headed for Port Jefferson. We've been in a few times. It's not exactly our favourite place, but we can get a mooring, and help if the storms are nasty.
We had an incredible sail from Stonington to Port Jefferson. Plenty of wind, and with the tidal currents in The Race, we literally flew across to the Long Island coast.
The storms didn't bring much in Port Jefferson. The next day was something altogether different...
