We have owned a house out in on Long Island for over 35 yrs. I learned so much from your review of these ports that I did not know. Thanks for the education. Great job.
Hey Jeff!!! Thanks for your comment and encouragement!! YAY...so glad it was educational and hopefully helpful to cruisers planning to hit Long Island Sound this summer!!
Love you guys so very much. Thank you for letting us live vicariously through you. Highlight of our summer was our visit with you. Can’t wait till you’re back up in this area again so we can have a repeat. Safe selling, love you
Love you guys. Thanks for making the long trip to us and canceling your doc appt! We loved our time with you and can’t wait to see you all again!! ❤️❤️❤️
Eileen & Brown, Awesome review of all the marinas You guys nailed it, this is just what I am looking for with respect to knowledge of the marinas.... Thank you for providing such great info.
LIBBA!!!! Thank you SOOOO much for your comment and for watching our video. You are too cute!! Love and miss you SO much!! Would love to catch up!!! xoxo
Another Great Video‼️ I'm from New York, and I loved the Snooty Sag Harbour (Thurston Howell the 3rd) Accent ... lol 😆 Most of those people out there try to forget that there Money came from running Booze down from Canada during the Great Depression ‼️ Stay Safe Guys ‼️
wow i just signed up to willis marine in Huntington and i am very excited about it. i think you are a little hard on the mooring balls they are safer then most people who cant anchor. i am excited in being a willis marine and practical for me to go home. i think if you would have spent more time there you might have understood why it is practical for some of us that want a full service marina. Don't get me wrong you look like good people
Great to hear from you and you’re probably right. We’re just a bit more wild at heart without constraints swinging from our anchor in less crowded spaces. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I thought this was a fantastic review !! Most sailing channels just say pass over the details like shopping , repairs moorings etc. And Prices!! Thanks guy's.....You guy's are all over the place....lol
Hello my dear friends!! You look amazing in this video. Such a great information about all these towns and I love how you grade them. Can’t wait to see next video. Please take care of each other. See you soon ❤️ Cheers from Canary Islands 😘
I've lived in Port Jeffesrson my whole 70 years, this town used to be so welcoming to mariners but it's a second thought now. The dinghy docks were shut down by lawyers.
These are our sailing grounds, you missed two Gems, 1st is Mattituck and the fantastic love lane, I would also recommend Greenport, although not real cruiser friendly there is a lot to do
Hey Craig!! I wish we had more time to stay longer on LI. We have never been to Mattituck, but I have spent a lot of time in Greenport, and love it. We will add them to our list for our next visit!! Thanks for watching and your comment!
So if I go to Huntington now, can I meet up with the Millers and that 20/10 baby as well? Because that seems to be the worthwhile feature on tow. Or do I have to find another family with a newborn?
Long Island sound is great. Of course I tend to disagree with some of your assessments. Biggest thing to remember is that it’s a tidal water. The current can get quite strong and in particular at ‘the race’ you want to time it to go with the current. Keeping that current in mind, your not so favorite places could be favorites because they allow for protection and an easy day sail to get down the coast. Some of my favorite places are Matticut and northport. And of course you missed all of the places on the Connecticut side, which are worth it too. Anyway, the sound is great. In bad weather it can be really bad though. My home port is port Washington
Thank you for your feedback and for watching our video. You make a lot of valid points. That’s the beauty of all of this…we can go where we want. We didn’t have enough time for the CT side. Next time!!
Hey Douglas! We are trying to work that out. We are down to one laptop now and in the Exumas which has terrible internet so I was working on putting some videos in the queue to reduce the stress of "getting them done". We have a couple in the hopper now and I just asked Brown and he said he could start working on one this week...if we have the bandwidth to do research!! Sorry for the delay!
@@SailingBlownAway , Hey, no need to apologize..no matter what you guys put it out..it's always enjoyable. I understand you guys are also retired and on "island time". Take care, give my best to Brown and thanks.
Ah-hem Montauk and Sag Harbor are NOT in LIS. Aside from that - Great subjective reviews. You missed a lot, and LIS offers a lot of options. Enjoyed watching. Thanks
True. Good point! Should have just said Long Island. Ha. Thanks for watching. Yeah, we miss a lot all the time when we are on a schedule. But, we have to appreciate what we do see!
Good video, but get some life jackets on those kids in the dinghy (even on the adults). Something happens, you get thrown out and knocked out, without a life jacket you have a problem.
Thanks for your feedback. The great thing about being retired and not needing the $1.36 we earn per video is that we can post whatever we want. We started this channel for our family and friends who want to follow our adventures. If we help others along the way, then that’s a bonus. We wish you all the best!

Hello Carlos!! Thank you for your comment and encouragement! We hope you and your family are well!!
I've lived in Port Jeffesrson my whole 70 years, this town used to be so welcoming to mariners but it's a second thought now. The dinghy docks were shut down by lawyers.
Oh no! What a shame!! When lawyers get involved it’s never a good outcome! How sad!
@@SailingBlownAway We have a few dinghy spots available at the Port Jefferson Yacht Club.
@anemoneii Thank you so much!! We are now in French Polynesia but maybe when we come back around you will still have space!
Always interesting guys
Thank you, Ian!!!

Billy Joel's bike collection ! Is it open to tour? I hear he has an amazing collection.
Yes!! You can go in and walk around when it’s open and he is often there!! It’s amazing.
So if I go to Huntington now, can I meet up with the Millers and that 20/10 baby as well? Because that seems to be the worthwhile feature on tow. Or do I have to find another family with a newborn?
Ha ha. That baby is no longer a baby!! He is a walking, running machine. The Miller’s are the best!! Thanks for your comments!!
Good info!
Thank you!!! Thanks for watching and your comments.
How was your anchor holding in the storm and which anchor you use. How many tons your cat have
It held perfectly. No issues. We have a 35k ton cat and an 85 lb Mantus anchor.
Long Island sound is great. Of course I tend to disagree with some of your assessments.

@@SailingBlownAway yea, time and other preferences always have an impact
Hey guys, when do you think you'll finish the fuel tank videos?
