We think it would be helpful to share our ratings and reviews of the six Long Island Sound Harbor towns we visited in July 2020. We are the kind of cruisers that like to be at anchor and independent of marinas and mooring balls. But, we do appreciate things like cruiser friendliness and things to do in and around the dinghy dock, if there is one.
In this video we review and rate 6 towns: Port Washington, Oyster Bay, Huntington, Port Jefferson, Sag Harbor, and Montauk. We review them in three categories: 1) Things to do - history, cuteness of town, access to NYC, walkability, restaurants, etc., 2) Cruiser Friendliness - free water, free pumpout, free dinghy dock, anchoring area vs mooring balls, close provisioning and chandlery, 3) Hang Time - would you want to spend more than a day there In each of the towns we review, we give a rating in the three categories out of 10 and then an overall rating of the town out of 10.
We hope that you, as a cruiser and viewer will find this a helpful starting point for researching where you want to stop as you journey in the Long Island Sound. We do fully recognize that this is our preference and experience and that many others will more than likely disagree with our assessment.
We would MUCH appreciate your supporting our efforts by SUBSCRIBING, and giving a THUMBS UP, and SHARING our videos with your friends!

NEW TO OUR CHANNEL?
We are Eileen and Brown Councill. Welcome to our channel and a glimpse into our NEW life adventure! 2020 was a year of uncertainty and change (for all of us, right?), but we overcame the challenges and decided it was time to chase our dream, to sail around the world! Did I mention that we have very little sailing experience? Before leaving Qingdao, China, our home of 4 years, we sold almost all of our earthly possessions and started our international search to find the right sailboat that we would call "home." After 5 months of unanticipated twists and turns, we found what we were looking for, a used Leopard 44' Catamaran located in St. Lucia.
So, here begins our journey, filled with unmatched excitement and honestly, a bit of trepidation as well. We have much to learn as we travel the world on our floating home and we intend to document that journey and share it with you. We are so glad you have decided to join us, and we hope that you will find our story so compelling that it will inspire you to chase your dreams too!
As a viewer, we consider you to be part of our family and look forward to getting to know you. Don't hesitate to comment on our videos and ask questions. We will do our best to answer every correspondence! All we ask is that you have patience with us as we work really hard to improve our camera/video techniques and ability to tell a story. Hopefully, you will be as BLOWN AWAY from watching, as we are in experiencing and producing our adventures!
If you wish to support our video efforts, all we ask is that you SUBSCRIBE, give a THUMBS UP, and SHARE our videos with your friends!
