< > This Fine Piece of Water - An Environmental History of Long Island SoundAbout Sphere & Tom Andersen
This is a blog about environmental issues in the New York area in general and Long Island Sound in particular. I'm the author of "This Fine Piece of Water: An Environmental History of Long Island Sound," which came out in 2002. I wrote about the environment and other issues during almost two decades as a newspaper reporter.

Thanks for the heads-up, Tom. I've sailed and motored that area many times and let me say it is tricky if not outright dangerous. You're right on the divide between Long Island and Block Island Sound, not to mention that Plum Island is an anthrax research center off limits to the public.
I've been spun around there a few times just because of the current. The winds can be calm on minute and then hammered the next. Yes, the Race is a great place to fish and is cool to sail, but let's just say it it is spooky as heck. -Sam
