Lisa and I enjoyed our time on Manhasset Bay and the small town of Port Washington. We did a lot of walking, and young kids entertained us for several days racing small sailboats around the anchorage. This picture only shows a very small portion of a very large racing fleet. At one point they moved one of the markers very close to our boat. It was a little unnerving watching 8 to 13 year olds maneuvering that close to our boat.
It was time to move east to Oyster Bay where we were to rendezvous with our brother in law, Zak.
Execution Rocks.
During the Revolutionary War, the Britts would shackle Patriots to the rocks at low tide--and guess what would happen at high tide. And they complain about water boarding.
Beautiful schooner on Long Island Sound.
We made it to Oyster Bay without mishap. It is a large, yet well protected bay with plenty of room for anchoring--and a free dinghy dock.
Lisa and I both visited a barber shop. I'm not sure if I have ever been to a barber shop before. But have you ever heard of a woman going to one? I was going to post a headshot picture of the 2 of us and label it Butch and Buckwheat, but I didn't think it would be fair to you. Will Obamacare cover haircuts?
Zak flew in from Austin, Texas to visit for a week. Although it was a bit warmer than it has been, it is not as hot as Texas.
Weighing anchor at Oyster Bay.
We left Oyster Bay which is on the south shore of Long Island Sound, and headed for the Thimble Islands just off the coast of Connecticut on the north shore of Long Island Sound.

We made it to the Thimbles. It took about 7 3/4 hours.
