The garment district

Just south of Time Square is the "garment district"

The statue of a man behind a sewing machine, and a large needle in a button behind him remind you of that fact.

Time Square

Only two blocks and we are on Broadway.
Yesterday we walked south on Broadway for several blocks (27 to be exact) and found ourself on Time Square.

Wanted to go further in to down town, and hopped on the subway.

79th street mooring field

Here we are anchored just off Riverside park on 79th street.

This location gives us good access to Manhattan and all the sites we want to explore.

Lady Liberty

Upon entering the New York area, our first anchorage was behind Liberty Island. You can not go to New York by boat without anchoring behind this well known land mark.

Atlantic City

We were anchored out just close enough to Donald Trump's casinos to enjoy the light show.
It certainly lights up the night sky.We went out for supper with some people we met here in the anchorage and all the lights made for a lovely ride home in the dingy.

Delaware Bay

We crossed the Delaware Bay on Wednesday June 6th. There was lots of commercial traffic.

Yesterday we came from Cape May N.J. to Atlantic City. A 36 nm Atlantic ocean crossing.

On the move again

After spending more time than we anticipated in Annapolis we are on our way north. Not that Annapolis was not a nice place to visit, especially the Dock in Salt works creek at the Huggins, was a wonderful place to hang out. It was just like home away from home. However we need to continue north. So at 09.45 hr this morning (June 5th we untied from the dock and headed north. Made it all the way to Chesapeake City on the C & D canal. (Chesapeake/Delaware bay canal) As the name suggests it is a canal that joins the Delaware Bay to the Chesapeake. Lots of commercial traffic, and we met a couple of pretty large ocean going boats. Better get out of the way of those boy's. No pictures, as I don't have a strong internet signal.
In the next few days we hope to be in New York City.
