The pirates are across the way in Atlantic City. From here it looks
like we are anchored in the outskirts of Las Vegas. It's an
interesting sight during the day but at night it's absolutely
spectacular.

You should be seeing Long Island soon if the visibility is good. I see
you passing Brick. I am pretty good net buddies with the Chief
Building Official there.

I see you rounding the bend heading up toward NYC. I guess that Jersey
jaunt wasn't so bad this time.

The day started out a bit sketchy with a cold, left-over northerly
bringing down some moderate but annoying chop and swell. Conditions
steadily improved throughout the day however and by late afternoon was
really quite nice. At about 3:00PM the Manhattan skyline started
slowly climbing out of the ocean ahead of us. That's always an
amazing sight no matter how many times you see it. From a distance it
has a very surreal quality. We'll fuel up tomorrow morning and then
wait for the flood tide to carry us up through NY Harbor and the East
River to Long Island Sound. That's another trip that never grows old.
