The long planned trip to New England was great fun, as expected.  Actually getting to Long Island Sound is a three day push, maybe four if the weather cooperates.  This is the pleasure of a faster boat able to travel at 18 knots.

Our New England stops included Newport, Cuttyhunk, Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket with the Yacht Club.  Stops on our own in transit included Mystic, Greenwich, Port Jefferson, Falmouth and Milford.

Boating in New England includes expensive slips (paid $8 a foot one place) and moorings.  There seems to be an endless supply of little port towns to explore on both sides of the Sound. 

 Like on the Bay, you have to watch our for pot floats.  In this case it is Lobster pots. You know you are in New England when Lobster replaces the Blue Crab!
