September 9th Manhasset Bay


With the weather looking horribly iffy, I decided to stay put as the bay seems nicely sheltered, so I took a few walks around Port Washington and around, allot of trees so photos did not show much, a nice town with a mix of old and new and all well hidden with green stuff. They designed, built and flew the flying boats from here, though there is no museum only the odd pictures and a art piece.

Yesterday (Saturday 8th ) was one I hope does not get repeated, the forecast 15-20 knot winds started early rising quickly and staying at 20-35knots gusting to 48 until evening when the wind shifted from South to North and thankfully died to 1-5 knots, leaving today a glorious sunny day with only the odd breath of wind, even the yacht races were abandoned with a number of boats being towed back to shore.
