Cape Cod to New York City

So our destination from Plymouth was Fort Lauderdale, but we wanted to do a sail past of liberty statue and long island on the way through. Leaving Plymouth was a little bitter sweet, on one hand gaining two new members to the crew, on the other hand losing our last Atlantic crew member, to the dreaded shore leave.
So departure from Plymouth went as planned, set sail for the late high tide oft the cape cod canal, and timed it perfectly with the fire in our favour. In celebration we gunkholed in buzzards bay to await morning light.
Morning came and with it mist and in a busy harbour. After hours of tacking back and forth against the wind, and into the fog, we took the long tack out into the Atlantic, for some playing room. We looked at the forecast ad it was grim. Fog set for the next 2 days. A decision was made, given the accuracy of weather forecasting, anything could happen. So we braved it. July 4th was spent on the waters ofon island sound watching the fireworks, early July the 5th we begin motoring up the east river just at the turn offbeat tide, and it pushed us along the River past manhatten downtown new york up to the Hudson and out into new York harbour proper, with all the boat traffic and the liberty statue. We sailed out past Staten island and anchored off Coney island for a bit of dinner and preparation before pushing onto more southerly climes. By the way, the gambit paid off the weather up the new York sound and right through New York was perfect, the forecasted fogs never appeared.
