Sandy Hook, NJ

We left City Island on Tuesday, September 3 in the early afternoon so we didn’t have to fight the current on the East River.  In the morning, Jonny took the launch to the hardware store to buy marine caulk so he could caulk the leaky window.  Let’s hope it works!

After lunch we took off for our afternoon cruise through New York City - as always so impressively scenic!  The traffic wasn’t too bad but we had to be hyper-vigilant in those roiling waters.  Lynn is obviously fascinated by bridges...

It was a short cruise and we ended up in a rather open anchorage in Sandy Hook, NJ next to what appeared to be military housing.  The anchorage was pretty rolly but we decided not to move.

We had cod for dinner and played Bananagrams. This was Jonny’s first time playing and it reinforced the fact that games are not his favorite amusement! We went to bed early knowing that the next day would be a long one.  We planned to leave early to see how far we could get - maybe even Atlantic City.  And just for the record, there is no end to the fabulous sunsets that we witness nearly every night!
