We spent two days on a mooring at the 79th Street Boat Basin, enjoying NYC while waiting for the wind to stop blowing from the south so we can continue in that direction. The mooring field was a little rocky due to wakes from boats passing on the Hudson River plus considerable current with the tides but the great location, facilities and the price ($30/day) more than made up for spilling my coffee once or twice.
We made the trip from City Island down the East River with the current and up the Hudson starting at first light, arrived at 79th Street by 11:00 AM. Except for being pulled over by the Coast Guard for being on the right side of the channel near the UN building and fouling the prop on something floating under the Manhattan Bridge, the East River and view of NYC was spectacular.
We had a chance to visit with friends, sample some of the local cusine, and spend two days at the Museum of Natural History, where Amelia wanted to find every exhibit featured in the movie “Night at the Museum.” Lots of fun!

So sorry I missed you guys in NYC. I would have enjoyed catching up and swapping theories about what it was that you hit under the Manhattan bridge.

Will try again. System lost my last comment thus the Test. Well you must update more often! Some of us are without a sailboat, mow the lawn, go into the office M-F, ... Looks like you have had great weather. We didn't do so well weather wise. But how bout those Red Sox. Who would have ever thought Serendipity in NYC. Sounds like fun. You must be well on your way to the C&D. Have fun. Dennis
