After a night anchorage at Great Kills we head off to explore Long Island. "Catch ya later Miss Liberty!"



Leaving the Big Apple under the Brooklyn Bridge

 

My favorite building.... The Chrysler Building




We loved Long Island!  So much history and "fishstory" with pasts of whaling and storms at sea.  Floods that ruined villages and the patron saints often single woman or widows that restored the sea-side towns that have become havens for tourists and summer homes and refuges for the rich and famous.  We enjoyed the Hamptons and Sag Harbour, Port Jefferson.  We had a great time at the Greenport Brewery tasting espresso dark brew and a pumpkin ale just to name a couple of the delicious beer brewed on site but first took a spin (actually went 'round twice) on a restored carousel!




Bluefish, wine and a new dress!


...and a gorgeous sunset with my honey....what more could a girl ask for?!




Swans visiting our boat for appies at cocktail hour at Sag Harbour (and Montauk!)

Frequenting Liar's Pub.  Just one of the many docks where fisherman bring in thier catch and, deservedly, quench the thirst!  Lots of Striped Bass in these waters!


Ahar mate!
