Shipmates!
So have we all got plans for this upcoming Holiday weekend? Let's get a thread going, even if you don't put her in gear and just BBQ on board!
After all the work I did on here this year, we're planning something other than a day sail. So unless we get bad weather, we're heading out.
Cruising 43nm westward along Long Island's north shore into the East River making for Flushing Bay, Queens.
Gonna spend the night at the Worlds Fair Marina, take in the sights at the Park, and catch a Met's game at CitiField (ya, I got a thing for underdogs lol)
The Admiral is a born and bred Yankee's fan which makes for interesting discussions!!
Did the trip 2 years ago with our Mac (pictured below), we loved it. While most think of tropical breezes, far away island beaches, urban sailing has it's own set of gifts to offer.
Nice to leave the ballpark at the end of 9 innings, walk across the parking lot, and have the Marina right there!
Hard to believe this well maintained, inexpensive, public Marina is in NYC. Despite the rumors...no killer rats, CHUD, mutants....just folks fishing and having a good time at night, and the NYPD Horse unit sits there all night as well.
Hope to replace that photo with one of the 323 this year.
