Pilot boat on Pilot Street

There is a pilot station on Pilot Street, City Island. At the opposite end of the street is City Island Y.C., where we are members and North River 2 is moored. The pilot boat - Newark Bay - docks on the inside of the rusting old fuel barge that protects Consolidated Yachts. One of the oldest yards on City Island, it is still the home of a lot of good boats. It was here that the schooner Mary E was hauled out last winter for maintenance.

Schooner Mary E hauled out on City Island for maintenance

The 100 year old schooner Mary E, which long called Greenport home, but now sails from Port Jefferson, is on the hard at Consolidated, at the opposite end of Pilot Street from City Island Y.C. where I keep North River 2.

Looks like painting, new prop and rudder from what I saw yesterday.
