Very, very cool on more than one level. We used to live in a condo that is in the background of that pic. Our unit was almost exactly behind the red marker buoy. Did you launch at Liberty Sate Park?

Correct. We pushed off the ramp, bumped into the sea wall lightly and pushed away from it, then sailed away on a beam reach right out into the harbor; no tacks required! It was too good to be true.
All day, the wind was our friend. We had N-NW in the morning which allowed for good angles at the statue, but not too much of a beat to head up towards Manhattan. By the time were in the Hudson, the wind had shifted around to westerly so we reached uptown for a good long way. We finally reverse course at the passenger terminals because we knew we'd have to get home sometime. The wind was W-SW for most of the ride home, plus the current was with us by then, so we rode a starboard tack almost the entire way except to dodge a cargo vessel or a ferry. Even the lulls--wind shadow from various NJ buildings--were welcome to give us a little rest. But making out way back to the ramp involved (of course) beating directly into the wind. But even then, there were lifts from the south at just the right moments and we literally sailed right back onto the ramp. I NEVER USED MY OARS. So awesome.Dave

A great outing indeed. Sailing New York harbor is an unforgettable experience. Between the scenery, weird winds, currents and the heavy traffic it's quite a lot of fun. You really made me go down memory lane. Looking through the pics on your blog I found the other place we lived in. The big brick veneered building in the background of the Shark tourista power boat coming in. It's called Portside Towers and we rented an apartment on the 12th floor before we bought the condo in your first pic. Got buzzed by that Shark monstrosity also, although it was painted yellow back then. Small world . Oh and the new panorama on your blog header is pure awesome!!!
