Sag Harbor and Port Jefferson

Last Friday, October 10, we left Newport and cruised across Long Island Sound to Sag Harbor where an independent film festival was going on.  We didn't recognize any celebrities, but we enjoyed our short stay in this tony village nestled among the Hamptons on Long Island.  Friday evening's  special treat was a tour of the megayacht Intuition II.  Thank you Pat, Candace and crew for an inside glimpse of your fabulous floating vacation home!  Our yellow slickers came in handy during Saturday's rainfall as we ventured out for a pizza and visit to the local hardware store and an art gallery.  The weather cleared and we walked to nearby St Andrew Church for five o'clock Mass followed by a most enjoyable dinner at the American Hotel.  Sunday brought sunshine and calm seas...mostly...for our sail to Port Jefferson where we tied up and enjoyed the amenities of the Danford Hotel and Marina for two nights.  Port Jeff is another historic Long Island village which has a bustling ferry to Bridgeport thanks to P.T. Barnum.

An added bonus to our travels was a very special reunion with my Long Island cousins.  We found each other on Facebook a few years back and I contacted them to see if we could meet up in Port Jefferson on Monday.  What a wonderful day!  Three sisters: Colleen, Kathy and Joanne--daughters of my father's brother Edward Lang, and me, the only child of Josephine and George Lang, reunited after more than 40 years!  Coincidentally, Kathy was visiting from South Florida.  We vowed to meet up again, perhaps in Florida next time!
