Mystic to New York City

Leaving Mystic

High seas and bad weather kept us in Mystic until May 27. That was fine because we kept finding more stuff we couldn't live without to put on the boat and had several more dinners with friends and neighbors.

Good thing we have windshield wipers.

The weather service has a sense of humor. This is what our windshield looked like all day long even though they had predicted 1 -2 foot waves. It was like riding a bucking bronco.  We love Bonine.







Things calmed down as we made our way down the East River, past lower Manhattan and over to Liberty Landing Marina on the New Jersey side of New York Harbor.

Our friends, Carol and Neil Dempsey, met us at Liberty Landing and stayed with us all the way up the Hudson River and into Lake Champlain.
