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. I have a picture I took on the ski trip. (connecting art LGA) http://gfretwell.com/ftp/crystal%20m...%20liberty.jpg I have a few Manhattan sky line but they are not up on my site. |

You shut down your SPOT just north of New Rochelle at 1600. Having dinner with Dick and Laura? |

If you switch the SPOT display to the satellite view you'll get a better perspective of where we are. I see some cozy little beach cottages around there ;-) |

wrote: I see you are closing in on Lake Ontario. You had just passed under I-81 when I looked. I never really looked at the route you have to take to get from Albany to the lake but it is a very winding path. For some reason, I always thought they just dug a canal from Albany to Oswego or something. I see now they take advantage of a lot of natural waterways. |
