Sailing Into New York City! Docking My Boat in the Heart of Manhattan
I sailed Nauti Dogs from Long Island Sound down the East River, under some of the most iconic bridges in the world, and right past the Manhattan skyline. From there, I rounded the southern tip of the island, cruised up the Hudson River, and docked right in the heart of New York City at Chelsea Piers.
It’s pretty surreal to tie up your sailboat in one of the busiest cities on earth — surrounded by skyscrapers, ferries, and traffic — yet still fall asleep to the sound of water lapping against the hull. I spent a week living aboard in Manhattan, exploring the city by day and returning “home” to my boat each night.
Join me on this incredible urban sailing adventure through the East River and around Manhattan!
📍 Route: Long Island Sound → East River → Around Manhattan → Hudson River → Chelsea Piers Marina
⛵ Boat: S/V Nauti Dogs — 56ft Ta Chiao CT56

Crazy Crab Boat Docking Races & Getting My Old Yacht Back in the Water!
Things get pretty wild in Solomons, Maryland as I check out the local boat docking races, where crab boat captains race against the clock to slam their boats into the dock as fast as possible. After the races, it’s back to my old CT56, Nauti Dogs. She’s been sitting on the hard for over a year, and...

My old CT56 sailing yacht has been sitting on the hard for more than a year, and it’s finally time to see what kind of condition she’s in.
