We made it through New York City today, all the bridges, the huge buildings and Hell Gate. Both our daughters Laura and Sarah together with Mohammad came down in the park under the Brooklyn Bridge to wave to us as we passed by. That was heartwarming. We won't see them for a long while. So across the New York Harbor under the Verizanno Bridge and down to Sandy Hook we went. What a beautiful day. Spent the afternoon lazzing in the sun. As dusk falls we realize that we wil spend the night at anchor here under a full moon. Tommorow we will be up at the crack of dawn. Our plan is to sail or motorsail down the Jersey coast to Barnaget inlet. This manauver can be dangerous under certain circumstances. Dial in tommorow and see how we did.
