It’s been a long week of travel. We’ve moved from Washington down the Potomac, up the Chesapeake Bay, through the canal to the Delaware Bay and down it to the Ocean. We sailed up the New Jersey coast and last night arrived in NY City. It was a long trip made even longer by the notable absence of wind or when we had wind it was straight on the nose. The area is filled with shipping and recreational boaters and tides are in the 5 foot range, the inlets are partly shoaled with wicked currents so channels and inlets are a real challenge. Still, we saw our first whale so; it was well worth the effort involved to get here.
We ran right through a sailboat race off the New Jersy coast.(Because of our more norther latitude the sailing is "up hill" as you can see.)
This was our view to starboard while crossing the main harbor channel in New York City.
You can't see it very well but on the left hand side is the empire state building. We're here!
