SAILING NEW YORK CITY EAST RIVER | NEW YORK HARBOR ANCHORING
#catamaransailing #leopard48catamaran #sailing #eastriver #nyc #newyorkcity #statenisland #statueofliberty
Navigating the East River through New York City was an unforgettable moving experience. It made us really appreciate the freedom we have as Americans to go where we please when we please. Jennifer Bell (Stephen’s sister) joined us in celebration of her birthday. Stephen and I were also celebrating our Anniversary! As Mick Jagger sang, "Bite the Big Apple - Don’t Mind the Maggots".
There is a bit of planning required so that you hit the tidal currents at the right time. Our plan was as follows. See our blog post for complete details
