Atlantic City to Haverstraw

This morning we pulled out just before 7:00am and are heading north to New York City and the Hudson River. We had another very good day on the water. It was gray, overcast with light rain off and on until noon today, but the seas were not bad at all. We had south wind most of the day and seas around 2 to 3 feet. On this boat, it was like a day in the park. It didn’t feel much different from the previous day which was dead calm flat.

The gray skies began to clear just as we came into NY Harbor. And by the time we got up the Hudson River to mid-town Manhattan the sun was beginning to peak through the clouds. We had a beautiful ride up the river today. We can only imagine how beautiful the color would be if it was October 16th instead of September.

We rolled into Haverstraw Marina today around 3:30 after 144 miles. We took on 488 gallons (.3mpg – ouch). We had to dock twice today which is beginning to be a theme on this trip. After getting all the lines adjusted and set up, we went to plug in the power and the pedestal was dead. So we untied and moved over to the next T-head and did it all over again.

By 5:00pm it was time to get the boat washed and do all of our engine room checks and top off the 275 gallon water tank. Washing a 65-foot boat is no small undertaking. Everything is running great and tomorrow looks like another good day to be on the water.

I took a few interior pictures since several of you asked to see what it looked like. If you check out YachtWorld the listing may still be up with lots of great pictures. Here are a few more from today.

The boat is so large it is hard to get it all in the frame.
