We left the next morning after a quick detour to Liberty Marina for breakfast. We transited the east river at slack tide and made it to Long Island Sound around 10:00am. The wind was 20-25 from the West, so it was fast down wind sailing the entire way out. We stopped at Port Jefferson. Danford’s Marina was excellent, good wireless internet and very nice facilities. However, they wanted over 4.00 a foot(they did end up cutting us a small break because it was so early in the season). We ate at the restaurant there, which was very good. Port Jeff is a great stop because the town is right on the water and there is a lot to see and do off your boat.
