CODA : Stopover in NYC while Sailing to Vermont

 8 June 2023

Liberty Landing Marina

Jersey City, New Jersey

View from the pilot house tonight.

Marc:  We had an early breakfast and were on our way at 06:35 this morning.  Skies were much clearer since an ocean breeze appears to have cleared away most of the smoke from the Quebec wildfires.  I am really impressed with the bow thruster and how it spins CODA around easily.  The Yanmar diesel did well all day. as well as the autopilot  When we reached the Throgs Neck Bridge the current turned in our favor and it really helped us along even getting our boat speed up to 11 knots near Hell Gate.  Bob did a terrific job at the helm in the East River once we disconnected the autopilot.  

Michael Gilmartin came to greet us at the marina and joined us for dinner in Jersey City.  It was good to walk around a bit.  

I-pad view just before we reached Hell Gate and saw 11 knots speed.

Added excitement as a seaplane takes off towards us on the port side of CODA in the East River.

Seaplane airborne after some effort.
