Oyster Bay, Long Island Sound

After a terrible night of rolling on boat, we got up early and headed out at 7:15. We couldn't stand just sitting in Milford Harbor rolling around for a second longer. So we had our coffee and tea to go, and off we went. Michele cooked egg and cheese sandwiches while we were under way. Once we got moving the seas were much smoother. We had absolutely no wind... maybe 5 knots from behind. So again, we motor sailed. It was a nice, easy, smooth, sunny, relaxing day.

Just after NY City skyline came into view, we were at our destination. Oyster Bay is known for, guess what? Oysters. Actually, it is also where Teddy Roosevelt was born and had a summer white house. Since we will be tucked in here until at least Friday waiting for inclement weather to pass, we can do some exploring. But for now, we are tucked way in the bay and safe.

More to come later after we explore the area.
