I'd be interested to know if anyone has some suggestions on where to dock for an overnight stay somewhere along the CT shore. It would be nice to take a cruise from Norwalk to somewhere....I heard that there are some nice marinas with pools, resturants, etc....
I don't know how far you are looking to cruise, but some time ago, I stayed at the Cedar Island Marina, in Clinton. A "Wild Guess" on my part would be that it is approx 40 Nautical miles from Norwalk! We had a great time there. They had a swimming pool and a restaurant and I am pretty sure they are a "Full Service" marina.
Accross the Sound it would be a pretty easy shot to Port Jeff! We really like it there. We stayed at Danford's althought I think it has changed hands now. The problem is that Danford's was "Very Expensive"! Also, if you do stay there, make sure they do not put you on the gas dock. Between the fumes and the Ferry from Bridgeport, you will not like it.
There are many other real nice places that some of the other CT folks can tell you about, but these are 2 that I have had personal experiences with.
Have a Great and Safe Cruise, wherever you decide to go.
