Sailing Through HELL’S Gate!!! E63
Leopard 45 sailing catamaran, New York Harbor, Hudson River, East River, Hells gate, and fixing our broken bilge pump.
In this episode onboard our Leopard 45 sailing catamaran, we cut across New York Harbor to fuel up at the Liberty Landing Marina in Jersey City. Then we make our way through the cold, windy rain up the Hudson River to West Point, with a quick stop in Nyack so Jeff can relive his childhood memories. We say “see ya later” to Greg and Dania, and Jeff and I make our way up the East River, under the Brooklyn Bridge, the Manhattan Bridge, the Williamsburg Bridge, the Queensboro Bridge, the Triborough Bridge, and finally through Hell’s Gate.
Then we spend time debugging multiple issues with our bilge pump and waters maker.
Back up a few days, we took a trip to the 911 Memorial Museum. I made a short video about it, but we decided to keep it out of our sailing channel. If you wish to see it, you can find it here

Now for the music! We went to the Big Blues Bender again and discovered some awesome new talent. Well, new to us, anyway. We love Dawn Tyler Watson and Albert Castiglia (again). And, as always, thanks to Damon Fowler for our fabulous theme song. We are working out arrangements for the song to be released anywhere you stream or buy music.

Sailing Wind Therapy
We’re Jeff and Adrienne. We both grew up sailing, but took 20 years off while married to our exes. When we got together in 2007, we remembered how much we loved sailing. So, we took a week-long sailing class in 2013, bought a Leopard 48 sailing cat, and never looked back (except for when Hurricane Irma destroyed her but we immediately purchased a new Leopard 45). In Spring 2021, our plan is to leave our marina in St. Petersburg, FL, and begin making our way to the Bahamas, then to New England, and then south, arriving in Grenada sometime in June 2022. Maybe, in May 2023, we’ll make our way across the Atlantic Ocean and spend some time in the Mediterranean. And then go around the world. We’ll figure it out. And hopefully, you’ll join us along the way. Thanks for watching our videos. We hope you like them.
