This morning as we were heading out on our journey Bridget was right there waving goodbye. She lives right at the other side of the yacht club and has a most fabulous view. Today was the perfect day to cruise Long Island Sound with the wind, tide and current in our favor. As Nana was resting on the bow of the boat she took a picture of the horizon while a catamaran sailed past enjoying the perfect breeze. ( Apologies for the picture quality.) Capturing the moment is not always easy on a boat!
Cruising into Manhasset Bay , which is surrounded by mansion after mansion, is quite the treat. The waterfront towns of Sands Point, Manorhaven, Port Washington, Plandome, Great Neck and Kings Point wrap around the bay. After securing NH in her dock space Nana and Nandad decided to walk into Port Washington not realizing it would be a three mile walk in 90 degree weather , with little shade in site. However , our reward was a wonderful lunch at Louie’s Grille and Liquors right on the waterfront. As it turned out this was our celebrity luncheon after receiving funds from the sale of Irelands Eye. Nana and Nandad are once again a one boat owner and boy does that feel good. We hope that the new owners enjoy her as much as we did.
The water taxi picked us up right at the restaurant dock and brought us on a harbor cruise. The best part was we were dropped off right at the dock at Safe Harbor - what service. A beautiful evening watching the boats come in and out of the harbor. The sunsets right over one of the homes on Sands Point. Tomorrow NH will cruise into New York City and possibly anchor beside Lady Liberty - this time flying the Looper flag.
