This gives our customers the opportunity to visit places up and down the Sound in short hops. It's an economical and easy to visit close destinations which may not have been on your radar.      Each member of the Long Island Loop Cruising Club offers something a little different. Boaters can book online or by phone and must  mention that they are Dock or Rack Customers (Members) of either Cove or Rex and part of the Long Island Loop Cruising Club to receive discounts. Slips are based on availability, and you must show your membership card..       For more information and the list of marinas,  CLICK HERE       Note: Matt-a-Mar marina is now Strong's Water Club & Marina See their revised website at:   www.strongswaterclub.com    | 
 | Were you on your boat when the                                           power went out 10 years ago ?     On  our mooring in Norwalk harbor, having just finished a picnic supper  aboard, we were astonished to see the lights ashore go out as if a magic  wand waived first over Sono and then around to East Norwalk.  Eventually, only the lights of cars ashore and the running lights of  boats in the channel were visible.   Instantly,  there were no landmarks and for some, a real test of navigation. A  great night to spend on the boat, with plenty of power and movies on the  laptop!  For More...  CLICK HERE |
