Greenport, If you have the time and good charts definitely go to Greenport. It is inside the fluke of the whale. Watch your tidal currents on the sound they are accountable for the difference of traveling at 10 knots or 1.5 knots over land. Also be aware of Plum Gut (the pass betweem Plum Island and Long Island) it can get mighty rough ou there. Local say to stay close to Plum. The town of Greenport is very picturesque and has marine stores and good restaurants. We did Mystic to Montauk and Sag harbor to Greenport. Sag Harbor was nice but to ritzy for us. From Greenport to Port Jefferson approximately 80 NM we did it in 12 hours with a rising tide. As we were getting there the tide turned and we we did the final couple of miles motor sailing at two knots. Mystic is definitely the crown Jewel for its facilities in the Museum. The bridge schedule must be followed to get in or out and reservations are a must. sail on.
