On the way to NYC

May 16, 2017

Finally, finally, finally we were able to leave Cape May, New Jersey.  The weather just has not cooperated for this trip.  But here we are on the way to NYC and you can see from the photo that the seas are pretty calm.

 This is Atlantic City as we are passing by.  They say when you pass by at night you can see the city lit up for miles and miles.  

 Some folks are working on the sea - not just playing like us.  

 This is a common site up here.  A tugboat towing a barge.  They are so far apart that you wouldn't know that barge is being towed but you would find out in a hurry if you were foolish enough to go between them.  Of course, they would not let you.  The tug operator would be calling you on the radio pretty quickly.  Down the rivers in our part of the world the barges are pushed by a towboat rather than pulled.  Not so here.

NYC popping up out of the haze. NYC seems to be encapsulated in a brown haze - so evident from a distance in the water.  Will stay in NYC a bit and enjoy what the city has to offer.
