Traveling along the East River, so close we could read the street signs, but with minimal traffic... what better way to see The Big Apple. There were a few barges and water taxis... even an occasional sea plane, but no red lights, no detours, and no gridlock.
We left City Island, NY early in order to make it through Hells Gate with the tide in our favor. The guidebook made it sound scary, but the trip proved uneventful from a navigational perspective. The perspective you get of NYC from the water is definitely an event! Click here to see for yourself PHOTOS.

Dear Pat and "crew,"
My favorite photo in this group is the picture of the NYC skyline through the dodger. What is the big "net" depicted in the other photograph in this group? Any chance I will see you folks somewhere along the Chesapeake (my "home" waters) when I am back East next week? All is well here in Oregon. You're not missing ANYTHING!!!

Hello Rich!!
Thanks for stopping by the blog. The big net in the photograph is the protection surrounding the Chelsea Piers driving range that looks out on to the Hudson River from the West Side of Manhattan.
Where will you be heading to on the Chesapeake? We're in Baltimore right now and will be staying at least a few more days. Then we'll be heading south toward the Potomac stopping along the way on our quest to see Washington, D.C..
Let us know where you'll be. We'd love to have you aboard.
Pat
