Back on the Water - NYC to Long Island Sound

Liz on the foredeck
It feels good to be back on the water. We spent a great day (Thursday) sailing the Hudson with our daughter, Liz, who took us to dinner that evening along with her significant other, James. It was a neat Mexican restaurant that served Watermelon Basil margueritas - the pix of Bill is when he used his straw like chopsticks to dig the goodies from the bottom of the glass.

Friday morning, after a long bike ride in the miles-long Hudson River Park, we sprinted up the East River and anchored in Manhasset Bay (Port Washington, Long Island). We took my bike for new tires (one was shredded) and got back to the boat in a steady rain that kept up all night. It was peaceful, and quiet, and this morning we have a gorgeous blue sky! Today we'll clean the boat's water line, swim, maybe fish a little, and just enjoy summertime.
