What an event; What a ride!
Great Kills to Stamford CT. via NYC under perfect conditions. At one point we hit 11.6 in Hell Gate according to the chartplotter but unfortunately we didn’t get the picture of it.

Quite a bit of excitement that we missed
We were away from the boat this evening when a squall came through. When we got back we pulled into the marina parking lot and the Fire Dept truck was there with the lights on. As we walked down the dock we could see the bike and kayak bag hanging out there and note to … Continue reading »
