📰 News we're reading

• Mixed results for Massapequa (liherald.com) — Massapequa's girls' soccer team has hit a rough patch, but a recent 0‑0 draw against Port Washington shows their defense tightening up. The Chiefs have conceded just once in their last four games while still struggling to finish chances. With key defenders returning from injury and a converted center back now leading the attack, they hope to turn solid backline work into wins.
   

• War and Peace, shipyard edition (blogspot.com) — Cruisers spent over two weeks anchored in Manhasset Bay, using Port Washington as a convenient base for transit into New York City and frequent trips to New Jersey. They highlight local bus connections, dinghy docks, hardware and marine stores, and a long list of Port Washington restaurants and services. Their stay underscores why the harbor remains one of their favorite, most practical Long Island Sound stops.
