There is one...........

.........Matittuck Inlet should suite your needs. Or you can sail over to Conn. There are marinas and ancorages all along the Conn. coast. Then sail back over to the Island when you are out east.

thanks.. yes, looks like mattituck would be good, about half way; just need an overnight anchorage to sleep. not necessary to go ashore.

Check out duck Island Roads near clinton. http://maps.google.com/maps?client=...code_result&ct=image&resnum=1&ved=0CAgQ8gEwAA


Also, by New Haven, Morris cove: http://maps.google.com/maps?client=...code_result&ct=image&resnum=1&ved=0CAgQ8gEwAA

I have spent many a night in both locations. Good Holding ground. Morris Cove can be a bit rolling.

Love to But

I would love to make the trip but I won't be up to LI until some time in July.
I just had surgery and can't do any sailing for a few weeks but hope to be back on my boat in May.

I did the reverse of your delivery trip about 7 years ago coming from 3 Mile Harbor to the western Sound. We spent the night tied up at the Mattituck town dock all the way at the end of the harbor. There was no charge for doing so and we walked into town for dinner that night. It is a cute old town and it is about the half way point.
Be sure to try to time the currents with your trip. Get the Eldridge Tide & Pilot manual or similar if you don't already have one. The current charts of the LI Sound are indispensable.
Let us know if you still need crew as the date nears.
