We made an early departure out of Branford, CT and worked our way west down Long Island Sound.
This 55NM leg of our journey looks something like this.
Port Washington is a good staging point for timing a fair current entrance into the East River.
It was a team effort at the helm for a bit until Buddy found the pilot berth.

As we entered the harbor we found some large waterfront homes.
At the dock we found equally large yachts like this Offshore Yacht.
We docked at Safe Harbor Capri in Port Washington. Once docked we sat and watched a beautiful red-orange sunset.

We decided to grab an Uber to Finn MacCool’s Irish Pub.
Fionn Mac Cumhail or Finn MacCool was the legendary Irish warrior/hunter who led the band of Irish warriors known as the Fianna and created the Giants Causeway.
The Uber driver was a software developer who drove Uber on the side. Him and I traded a few techie jokes and he proved to have a wicked sense of humor.
The next morning we will time our arrival to the East River before 9AM which I’ll detail in the next post.
