Great sailing in Peconic and Little Peconic bays. They're each about 6 miles across but the last half mile along most shores is shallow. Sandy bluffs and pebbly beaches are festooned with huge mansions overlooking the water. The towns are picturesque with little tourist shops and basic amenities. Marinas are expensive, so we mostly choose to anchor away from the crowds. But it's wicked hot. And humid. And sticky.
Saturday evening is a free concert hosted by the Perlman Music Program. Performers are students of the program, college age, and very good. We happened upon the 'contemporary' performance night. Each group of four or five chooses a piece written by a living composer to perform. Each group was usually two violins, viola, cello, and either a base or double base. They had two weeks to pull it together, and they all nailed it!
Monday we return to Greenport and tie up by a restaurant for dinner, then stay the night. Storms come through in the evening with torrential downpours and lots of lightning. But this front signals the break of sticky-hot weather we've been suffering through.
