SUMMARY OF OUR ROUTE - (only shown as far as Albany, NY)

We intended to make Port Washington, NY. in western Long Island near East River entrance.. Forget it!!  Once again, strong westerly winds in afternoon churn up waves against the current and we end up playing submarine, this time into breaking waves everywhere we look.   Not fun and very tiring.

 We detour into Black Rock, CT and head up river to Captains Cove Marina.   We dine down on the casual boardwalk-resort like lower level after cocktails upstairs at the amazing nautical themed bar. The bar features a Huge Titanic ship model hanging up above and the bar surrounds a Tugboat Pilot House that looks authentic.  It's a pleasant relaxing stop since we arrived somewhat early compared to previous stops.
