(This message was added in version 6.7.0.) in /home3/aboarddi/public_html/blog/wp-includes/functions.php on line 6114Today we were invited out by a friend of Anne’s to spend a little time on their powerboat “Seventeen Too”.\u00a0 Anne, John, Helen and I met up with Amy and Bob Katz at Liberty Marina just before noon.\u00a0 Already with them were their friends Britt and Steve.\u00a0 Shortly we were joined by Rowena and Rico.\u00a0 The boat, a Carver 570, was awesome – far more splendid than we imagined.<\/p>\n
We thought we might be taken out into the Hudson, round a bit and then back to the marina.\u00a0 What we were treated to was a trip up the East river round the top of Manhattan, up the Hudson to a couple of miles north of the Tapanzee Bridge (close to Sing Sing) and then back down the Hudson to the Statue of Liberty and then back into the marina.\u00a0 This all took a bit over four hours.\u00a0 Along the way we had rolls and fruit to eat with a little beer and wine to wash it down.<\/p>\n
At the beginning of the trip we got to see the recently constructed water sculptors around the south end of Manhattan.\u00a0 You can see a few photos of these in the clips below.\u00a0 The view of Manhattan is quite different from the water.\u00a0 Helen and I have never been up the East River further than Hellgate.\u00a0 I was quite surprised how green the north end of Manhattan Island is.\u00a0 The trip up the Hudson to the Tapanzee Bridge took us alongside the Palasaides – rocky cliffs along the west shore.\u00a0 Again, I was quite surprised how green they were and the total lack of any man made objects.\u00a0 Just looking we wouldn’t know we were just a few miles from one of the busiest cities on the planet.<\/p>\n
Our very big thanks to Amy and Bob for inviting us out on the river.\u00a0 An excellent start to this next phase of our lives.\u00a0 Our “First Day Out.”<\/p>\n
