As I write this were about 5nm off the coast of NJ motorsailing between Manasquan and Barnegat. Haven't decided how far we'll travel today/tonight.
Yesterday we went through NYC. About 3 hours not counting the delay at the Roosevelt Island Bridge. West side of the East River closed due to the UN being in session. All in all not bad and we were lucky not to have any major traffic conflicts in any narrow spots. First time through Hell Gate went well.
We went to Atlantic Higlands, Sandy Hook, NJ and anchored. A major T-storm just missed a direct hit and we "only" got 40kt winds. We stayed secure but two boats in front of us dragged anchors and came close to hitting us which would have been very bad. Very, very bad, but nothing happened. Our prep payed off and we went back to bed after 45 min. Almost an adventure.
Next adventure is deciding what our next harbor is and when. After dark???
