Had a 6 plus hour ride to Port Jefferson, NY. We crossed the Long Island Sound and the wind was directly on our nose again. We really have had to do a whole lot of motoring. This happens when you make plans. We rented another mooring ball and took the launch into town. This place has really become a tourist attraction. There are lots of places to eat and buy stuff. We had a really nice lunch at "Tommy's Place". As with other towns, they have made available to boaters a place to take showers, wash clothes, and just sit and watch tv. They called this building the Annex. It looked really new. This is a far cry from the last time we were here. They were not boater friendly and even trying to tie our dinghy up somewhere was impossible.They only wanted to talk to you if you were staying at the Marina and Spa. Those of us that anchored were not considered "guests" of Port Jefferson docks. Things have certainly changed for the better. Because there are moorings now in the harbor, they really needed to do something for the boater. We saw a Masonic Temple while we were walking in town.
