So Here We Go!!!!

knarloids had the good sense to put the top in so we can motor out
for real. 12 miles downriver past twists, turns and industry to reach the bay.

Almost at the mouth of the Raritan.

Excellent pictures Sim - Thanks!

See you tomorrow on the Delaware to rinse out the salt. :cheers:
