Day #44: Port Jefferson, NY

It's an easy cruise between Northport Bay and Port Jefferson as both the seas and winds are calm. The littoral is softening before our eyes; the tree lined rocky coast is giving way to sandy beaches.

Port Jefferson was a shipbuilding town. Now it's a vacation town. Once an hour the Bridgeport Connecticut ferry disgorges sightseers.

Enjoying the breeze and the umbrella's shade on Nellie's dinghy deck.
