[STATUS]Port Washington. Lively, super-fast 35-mile sail in 25-30 knot easterly. Left at 7 AM, were on a mooring before noon. Town provides free moorings for 2 nights, $25 per night after that, plus a launch service. Good lunch at a Mediterranean deli, then walked to Manhasset Bay Yacht Club yard where we kept 'old' Kite one season. Amazingly, some of the same yard workers are still there! UN General Assembly is in session and much of East River is closed all week, so we're noodling through how best to get through New York City.
