We had a good anchorage last night as New Haven has three
large breakwaters across the entrance (I cannot imagine the work that goes into
making these large masses of land) so it really keeps the rolling down. In the
middle of the night (of course) the wind started blowing hard so I was up a few
times in the night to check things out and to make sure the anchor was not
dragging. We are now well into Long Island Sound and the increase in power and
sailboats is apparent. It is busy enough that seeing another boat is no big
deal and nobody waves to you like back in Nova Scotia. The power boats also are
more of an issue as they seen to have no problem with passing close to you at
any speed!
We arrived in Norwalk Islands around 2:00 but had to search
around to find suitable anchorages as the area has quite a few oyster traps
plus the area is very shallow in spots but we seem to have found a good
anchorage. New York is about 25NM away from here and you can see the buildings
of the city in this picture. Tomorrow our plan is to go to City Island just at
the beginning of East River for our run down through New York.
