Anyone doing any cruising?
We're at Ocean Beach on the bay side of Fire Island, NY. Considering
how close we lived to here for many years, this is our first visit and we our pleasantly surprised. The waters are shallow but the scenery is great, the towns are interesting, and the beaches are fantastic. http://www.tinyurl.com/waynebspottrack |

BTW, I"ve always wanted to make that run down the East River, but never got to it. My last chance there the weather was closing down & I had to head south ASAP. |

After that we are good to go south as soon as a weather window opens up for running the New Jersey coast. Right now the wind is blowing hard out of the north east, hopefully better tomorrow. The run down the East River is always an adventure but well worth it. There's really nothing else quite like it. |

You've some nerve calling what you do 'cruising.' Let me explain before you become all indignant. To me and other real sailors cruising is something you do aboard a boat and it's something you can ONLY do aboard a boat. Your so-called cruising could just as easily be accomplished via automobile. Drive around the big cities and see the sights! Why, that's hardly cruising. To we real sailors one cruises to get away from civilization - not to become further immersed in it? For pity's sake, there you are, you've selected the most inefficient form of transport to get the job done. Not only do you use way more fuel with its subsequent pollution factor than if you drove an automobile but you do so extremely slowly. You waste valuable resources. You use the wrong tool for the job. It's sort of like your using a sledge hammer to pound in a thumbtack. You should try a 25-35 foot sailboat and you should use it to go places automobiles cannot go. You won't really know what cruising is all about until you unplug yourself from your dependence on urban sprawl and technology. Here's a simple clue for you. If you can post to rbc, you aren't cruising. And, that's a fact! Wilbur Hubbard |
