(I have no idea why the pictures are huge. The internet quit on me while I was transferring the pictures and when I started it again, this is what I got!)

Check out this article in a local magazine.



There wasn't a cloud in the sky today when we got up. The temp was warm and there was no humidity. We were a bit lazy getting going this morning as it was a late night with moving the boat and all. Showers were almost at noon!

A boat had left one of the transient mooring balls (there are only about half a dozen of them, the rest are rented) so we moved again. The marina lets you stay at the rented ones but if the renters come back, then you have to move. So, we should be good here until we leave New York City!

Jorge and I walked forever to get to a ship museum you could see from our marina. The size of the ship gave a deceiving distance. When we got there, there was only an hour left before it closed so we decided it wasn't worth the money and moved on.

We walked to Times Square. What a zoo! People everywhere. Theaters, billboards, just like what you see on t.v.

Unfortunately it was 1700 so we had to battle rush hour traffic on the subway back to the boat. There is a little bar and grill overlooking the marina so we stopped for some drinks and an appetizer.

Rob and Serena are headed off tomorrow. They have to be in the Chesapeake by mid September as Rob is heading off to the UK to help deliver a boat. I'm sure we will see them again in our travels.

  2. Our bikes in NYC certainly broadened the scope of what we could see in a day but it was only after walking ++ for several days that we bought them & were glad we had.Enjoying the stories.
