Agree with DickR suggestion. I come from the east side of Long Is. and travel this way to Weirs/Meredith. You avoid Long Island Bridge which can be busy and a set of channel markers next to Long Is. Once I get thru the channel I'm in cruise mode until I get to Weirs.
There are a number of markers in the middle between Bear Is and Jolly Is that you have to pay attention to especially the one at the point of Bear Is. That buoy you need to go to the inside of the buoy. If going that way you need to make a wide sweep into the lane. If you cut the corner you may have some unexpected persons in your boat. I've had persons come close to hitting me due to cutting the corner. That's why I travel the other route.
Just curious, why not launch from Melvin Village/19 Mile Bay.
