By Buttons PadinThis year’s Platinum Anniversary edition of Larchmont Yacht Club’s venerable Edlu Race, held Saturday, May 10, was a quick one. A predominantly northerly breeze let the fleet of fifty-one boats sail largely rhumbline courses to and from the single turning mark off Long Island’s Eaton’s Neck, 16 miles to the east. As they say, it was a “sporty” start to the race with winds in the high teens. Many boats started with reefed mainsails and small headsails.

Think about questions like:• Is it early or late in the series? • Do you already have a throwout? • How good is your boatspeed? • How confident are you in your pre-start strategic plan?

I was walking daily during the spring of 2020, and realized I was not walking by myself; I had a soundtrack around me. That was the birds of Central Park, thousands and thousands of them.

We tend to see report cards as documents focused only on the past. But the 2025 Long Island Sound Beach Report, released by Save the Sound just before Memorial Day Weekend, is as much about the future. Yes, the biennial Beach Report presents water quality grades from recent swimming seasons—2022 through 2024, in this case. It evaluates how water samples collected at roughly 200 public and private beaches around the Sound performed against state safe swimming standards in New York and Connecticut.
