Cruise Notes from Sheepshead Bay
This, contributed by Steve Colitz:
On Friday, the Asher’s and Colitz’s decided to go to the Miramar YC in Sheepshead Bay. We had a fast run in about 23k of wind and arrived at the club and were each assigned a mooring. The trip is about 12 miles and takes from 2 to 3 hours. The launch driver from the Sheepshead Bay YC took our pendants and tied it to the shackle on the mooring. Miramar and Sheepshead Bay launches cover for each other during the week. They monitor channel 68. For mooring reservation call 718-769-3548.
On land, we met the vice commodore named Alberto and several others, who could not have been more accommodating. He gave us a key to the security gate so that we could get back to the club from the street. The Miramar YC is nicer than the Sheepshead Bay YC, because it does not have a bar and is non smoking. Sheepshead Bay is a great place to walk and listen to Russian and Turkish languages, the people are friendly, and it has may very nice restaurants and some stores.
Sheepshead Bay has clean clear water we watched horseshoe crabs mating in the shallow water at the YC. On the negative side, there is a lot of ambient light and party fishing boats come and go frequently.
