Hi nauticalrich

I returned to Westport from Costa Rica, my other home in early June. The weather has been terrible and I've been out racing at Block Island and trying to work on the boat. At the moment 4 of the hatches and 12 portlights are down in Annapolis getting new lenses and gaskets. I hope to get them back and installed this week. After that it would be great to get out. I'm over in Bermuda Lagoon at a private slip.

We just got back this afternoon, from an 8 day cruise on the LIS. Great week. We decided just to sail each day and see how far we got before stopping for the nite. Went up as far as Oyster Bay with stops at Atlantic Highlands and City Island along the way. Homeward after cruising past the Great Lady of NY/NJ and spectacular fireworks at Atlantic Highlands. On to Manasquan in NJ and a second nite of fire-works at Tom's River anchorage before slowly returning to our home port of Forked River, NJ. Did "Hell Gate" for the first time and saw 12 knots over the ground. What an experience. Three great navigators (3 boats on the cruise) took us in with the current and out with the current 4 days apart. Would do it again.
All the best

Heading up to the summer slip in Westport from the winter slip in Jersey City this weekend. Hope to be doing a fair amount of cruising in the Sound and up through Martha's Vineyard. Usually have room for a few more crew.

I crew for a friend, on a 37 Bennie (2007) DRAC VERD, kept at Tall Oaks in Forked River. Great boat. She is a smooth sailor and fast. The TOYC will do a group cruise up to LIS the week of the "4th". Usually from 4 to 6 boats do the cruises and they all enjoy a good happy hour in dock/mooring after a days sail.
All the best, Carole

Carole...We sail in Barnegat as well and are planning the same cruise. However, we are unable to do it this summer. Our cruise was to include Mystic, Port Jefferson, Mattatuck, and eventually off to Block Island. I will be interested to hear how you made out....What type of boat do you have and where do you keep her?

I'm a BIG fan of Milford. A wonderful, friendly, relatively inexpensive marina (Milford Landing) with lots of good restaurants and other amenities within short walking distance. (Cancun Charlie's is a favorite.) From Milford you can harbor-hop further east to Old Saybrook, Essex, Mystic, Stonington, etc., or bounce across the Sound to Port Jeff and other spots. Have a great trip.

We plan to do the L.I.S. cruise from Forked River (Barnegat Bay) the week of June 27th to the 4th July. Any good places to visit/dine/hang out?

Little by little, my summertime cruising plans are starting to take shape, and on my short list of places to go this year is Greenport/Southold/Shelter Island. I'll be sure to beep the horn if I'm in the neighborhood.

Why are hubcaps less common on modern vehicles?

 Hubcaps, which are attached directly to the wheel and rim assembly, are less frequently seen on modern vehicles. This shift is largely due to the adoption of wheels made from aluminum or metal alloys, which are less vulnerable to damage from salt, road chemicals, and harsh winter conditions compared to the previously common steel wheels.WheelCovers.Com prioritizes customer support and security to provide a seamless shopping experience.
