Getting out of New Rochelle at low tide is a slalom course between buoys and rocks and twisty channels. But soon we are out on the broad Sound. The wind is in our face (what a surprise, eh?) but strong and steady, so we make good progress often sustaining 5+ knots.
For lunch we take a break and swim ashore to Little Captain's Island, a park owned by the city of Greenwich. Most people come here by ferry, and being the start of Labor Day Weekend, there's a good crowd.

Back at sea, we cross to the Long Island side of the Sound and find an anchorage in Oyster Bay. We joined a veritable traffic jam of sailboats coming into the harbor. We heard there might be music at a local bar, so we rowed ashore but alas 'twas not to be. We strolled through town and learned that Theodore Roosevelt had a summer home here.
