[Alberg30] Re: [Member-list] A-30 Cruise to New York andf Long Island Sound

[Christos Katehis]

A stop in Sheepshead bay is a must especially if you want to wait out the
tide before heading up the East River. Sheepshead bay has a very well
protected anchorage and  is walking distance from subway. I moor my boat
there there. If you addtl info let me know.
