Wednesday Sept. 29th 2010 was the day that we went by New York City.
After 2 days layover at an anchorage about 30 miles from Manhattan we finally had some nice weather. We motor sailed at times and moved closer and closer to the downtown skyline. There were hardly any other boats on the water until we were almost at the statue of Liberty, then there were many tour boats and ferries going every which way across the river. We went by the Statue of Liberty and out towards New Jersey. There were huge freighters anchored everywhere and a few passed by us, which is quite daunting in a small boat. Once out in the open we motor sailed again to Sandy Hook where we anchored behind a breakwater at Atlantic Highlands.
Today and tomorrow a storm is passing through with high winds and rain so we will be staying put for a while. The next leg is from here around the coast of New Jersey to Cape May. We are still deciding if Sal and I will take the inside route or head out into the ocean for the whole 115 mile trip. It mostly depends on the weather.
