Chilling of the evening...

We are in New York...actually across the Hudson in New Jersey at Lincoln Harbor Yacht Club. This place has a great view, and nice amenities, but is difficult because of wakes from the Hudson River rolling in. We are rock and rolling tonight. We did take the ferry over to New York and visited Times Square, and had dinner in a great little Italian restaurant.

It was a good day to be on a boat...even sunny this morning. We will move closer to the ocean tomorrow and plan our sail down the New Jersey coast. 

 This is the George Washington Bridge with the New York City sky line  in the background. You can see this for miles before you arrive. It gives you a whole different perspective to visit a city by boat.

 Cruised by Yonkers, New York.

 Welcome to New York...a water taxi tried to swamp us as soon as we arrived. They are like the cab drivers in New York. These boats are fast! This boat is right off our port side. You can see our winch at the bottom of the picture. I was nice though... even waved to him. The Hudson River is a crazy place to be during rush hour...boats everywhere!

This is a great idea.If you are running out of land, build condos over the water.

Hello to everyone!

A sad note...my favorite folk singer...Arlo Guthrie, lost his wife Jackie who had liver cancer. They were married for 42 years. Sorry for your loss Arlo, and thanks for all the wonderful music.

And now my time has come down many streets
I`m coming from a night decaying
The song that itself sings is all alone
I cannot even hear it playing
Now to leave before I understand
Just what it is I know I`m leaving
Take me from the chilling of the evening
