Alex, Bayville on the North Shore of Long Island would be pretty easy. You could dunk your new Donzi in Bayville and run across the lower Sound to City Island. You can get gas and a bite to eat there and right outside that inlet is a lot of open water under the Throgs Neck Bridge for testing. It is also very cool to see the planes land at LGA as they are pretty close overhead on descent. Let me know if you ever head over to Bayville, I could meet you under the Throgs Neck Bridge which is hard to miss lol.
As far as going further than JFK on the South Shore in open water, I'm not familiar with those areas really. How much further out and what town? Probably not in the cards but I have been known to go walkabout with the little 16 for a couple of hundred miles round trip if the ocean is cooperating and the 12 hour forecast looks good. I wear two vests for those runs and will only go alone. WTF ....... YOLO
