Anatomy of a Boat Delivery

Paul B · 10-29-2009, 01:19 PM

This summer I bought a new boat. The problem was that my marina is on the north shore of Long Island and the boat was on the south shore. I sailed it around with only a few problems.
My closest friend, and fellow Captain Richie, is in the Coast Guard Auxiliary and he brought the boat around with me. He published an article about the journey in the Coast Guard publication.
There are some pictures of the East River and Manhattan.

Here are some pictures from that trip that may not have been in the article.
This is the East River, which is a salt water estuary and not a river at all. Manhattan is on the left and Queens NY on the right. This area is called Hells Gate because of the currents.

This is the Verrazino Bridge where my serpintine beld came off

These guys are all over the place,
I guess they don't want you to smoke

You also don't want to get in the way of these
