| An early morning start on October 1. Goal: LI Sound to the East River and Liberty Park, NJ. We covered 39 miles averaging 5.1 knots, with a maximum of 9.7 knots (with current-assist). The trip took 7 hours, 45 minutes and was one of those memorable days when one is fully absorbed in the tasks at hand and the passing of time goes unnoticed. Lots of traffic on the river and harbor--party fishing boats, tankers, tugs, barges, police and fire boats, one-design racing boats, tourist boats, ferries, container ships, schooners, sloops, kayaks, powerboats, and even a swimmer! |
