NY harbor 10th May

[knarloid]

In case any one is around, we're planning a last minute spin out of Liberty State Park around NY harbor. Will celebrate our 11th wedding anniversary, so nothing special.
Won't be on water till 3:30 due to kids sports.

Promising to be a cracking day so will post a few pics later.

An awesome day out exploring in NY harbor today. Family had a blast. Plenty of antics......


Words of wisdom - don't try to cut the Staten Island Ferry......










I never tire of this view from my own boat...



Verazano Bridge


Teardrop memorial in Bayonne, NJ.






Next stop Ireland!

Great pics The coastguard shots with you looking over to them are priceless

I was on the Mullica River for the first time today and definitely a good place to go. We had a Mom's day lunch at Oyster Creek Inn then stopped at Mott's Creek before venturing up the Mullica and Bass River.

Sorry we missed you. Happy anniversary!
Oh, and don't worry about the guns on the Coast Guard botes.
They're just for show. Rarely even loaded.

I can't help but wonder how Sim would have handled the situation(smile). The pics are very cool. I have heard that the CG guys around here become acutely aware and interested of fast moving boats in the proximity of not only ferry boats but big grey ones and even fancy ones that are able to submerge. They are very pleasant but a tad bit nervous.

I totally understand their situation. They had been near us by the Statue a few minutes earlier when we had launched (and we were getting the customary family photo) before they headed out into the harbor and circled around the ferry.
They were behind the ferry (You can just make them out between the 2 ferries in the first photo) as I was eyeing up my opportunity to accelerate around the ferry and get to the far side of the harbor.
They were very professional about it all and only stopped us for about 30seconds to explain the 'rules'. As soon as I apologized and admitted my wrongdoing, they turned away. I was glad I had the 2 kids onboard and no beers on show! I think they would have boarded us and checked all paperwork and supplies otherwise - like in 2011 when I was out at the 10yr anniversary of 911 with ATC250R.

I was sitting out by the firepit with a bottle of red and herself last night and she asks me "...so did you sh1t yourself when the CoastGuard came after us today?".
Of course I said No, and to be honest it was due to that 2011 experience that I wasn't concerned. They're good guys with a tough job.
But the GoPro footage is cool with them bearing down on us!

I wanted to namedrop Petroni, but I didn't feel the need.

I gotta make this trip happen...

Red, White and Blue Starliner's in front of the Statue would be Bad Ass.

One does not invoke the name of JTPatroni for personal gain or in vain.
What were you thinking, man?

Wouldn't it be simpler to go Kabbalistic?
Seriously, that's an Ace up the sleeve. Him and Sammy the Vipe with them multiple nipples in the AM pics.
Reality has no chance.
