Boaters have long known to avoid Plum Island, home of the "Plum Island Animal Disease Center".
As young adults, crossing through Plum Gut, we would joke about two headed cattle and the "rule" to hold your breath while passing down wind !
Today the 840 acre island, under the watchful eye of Homeland Security, may be up for sale and the laboratory moved to Manhattan, Kansas.
For more, including history and juicy conspiracy theories... CLICK HERE
Now Donald Trump may be interested in Plum Island... see LINK

Technology Marches On
It's amazing that only 250 years ago the first clock was perfected to calculate longitude by "Longitude Harrison" See Story Here
Slowly at first, we've moved from the marine sextant, hand made nautical charts, speed logs, radio navigation (RDF, Decca, Omega & Loran C) to Radar navigation, Sat Nav, Chartplotters and GPS.
The latest variants of GPS plotters and Chart plotter / Sounders include a receiver for both the US NAVSTAR GPS and the Russian GLONASS satellites.
With traditional GPS the average number of satellites visible is 4.4, and with the combined system 7.8 satellites and a wopping 2.5 time better accuracy !
See Panbo and the latest from Garmin for more.
(many phones have dual receivers included !)

Oyster Bay's 30'th Annual Oyster Festival
Oct. 19'th and 20'th - Rain or Shine - Oyster Bay, New York
The Oyster Festival originated as a hometown parade honoring Theodore Roosevelt before evolving into the largest outdoor festival on Long Island, under th  e auspices of the Oyster Bay Rotary. Every year, visitors flock to an Indian-summer weekend on the waterfront in
downtown Oyster Bay - drawn by live entertainment, Tall Ships, top-notch artisans, pirate shows, midway rides, and the iconic oyster eating and shucking contest. A big draw is the Food Court, where volunteer chefs and culinary pros work side by side, cooking and serving dozens of unique oyster, clam and other seafood concoctions along with traditional festival fare. Click HERE for More
By Boat: Call ahead; Oyster Bay Marine Center 516-624-2400 = VHF 71
or Sagamore Yacht Club 516-922-0555 = VHF 78A to reserve moorings or for further assistance.

Norwalk Harbor Dredging Update
The third and final phase of the multi-year Norwalk Harbor dredging project by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is expected to begin prior to November 1, 2013. This phase will involve dredging to restore the 12-foot federal channel from the Route 136 (Stroffolino) bridge to Long Island Sound. No dredging will take place north of the bridge or in the East Norwalk channel and basin.  To meet project deadlines, the Corps of Engineers' dredging contractor is authorized and expected to work 24 hours/day, 7 days/week. Heavy equipment will be operating in the channel throughout the anticipated four-week work period. The channel will remain open to navigation but delays and some inconveniences should be expected. |
