This spring, Peconic Jeff invited the editor of The Peconic Puffin to a beautiful sailing spot on Peconic waters. But he forebade the Puffin from adding the spot to the Long Island Windsurfing Map and swore us to secrecy.
The Puffin has kept troth with the oath. (Sailing superstitions and all that…)
But now Jeff has revealed the spot! In a post on iWindsurf.com Jeff calls attention to Red Cedar Point! And then he links to a map he’s made of the waters!
By all standards of Long Island windsurfing journalism the Puffin should now be free to add Red Cedar Point to the map.
But we swore an oath. And as I already borrow liberally (steal) from Jeff’s photo collections, I decided to ask him. He has released me from my vow of secrecy, and so RCP is now on the map. But be warned: There are no legitimate ways to get to Red Cedar Point by land. You must sail to it. X marks the spot…
(Top photo: Jeff gives the thumbs up to reveal Red Cedar Point, as he sails to its secret shore.
Middle photo: Back when it was a secret, a stowaway managed to get on Jeff’s board. We fear the young lass was forced to walk the plank.
Bottom photo: The skull and crossbones, as displayed on the editor’s wave board. We take our sailing oaths seriously.)
