Sounds exotic, huh? Well, it's a little hidie-hole that Capt. Kidd used to hid his ships. Of course, now, on a summer Saturday, there were over 25 boats hidden it in. It's a little group of island (rock croppings) in the Long Island Sound. Looks like Maine, I've read. Any way, here's the mob scene. That's over a dozen boats rafted up, only one set of the groups in the Thimbles.
We left Port Washington early this morning, in the fog. Thank goodness for radar! We also saw our first lobster pots. Not in nice, neat rows like the crab pots in the Chesapeake, but random, helter-skelter. The markers are larger and not as frequent, but, unline the Chesapeake, they are found in water from 60-125 ft deep! It's rare to find them in water over 25 ft in the Chesapeake. These are shots of a lobster boat, in the fog, pulling up a lobster pot.
Tomorrow, with luck , we'll be in Mystic , CT.
