Off the dock 0550.  Arrived Port Jefferson 1615

 

Outside again.  Higlhy advised by the locals to not do the ICW in NJ.  Apparently the "Seagrass Huggers" (a.k.a. EPA) won't allow dredging in the ICW.

 

Winds out of the NE aroun 10-15.  Following seas.  Slow, big rollers SW. Overcast. Gray.  Low lying dark clouds to the East.  On to NYC.

1125  Asbury Park, NJ to our port for you Springsteen fans.  

 

1140  Long Branch, NJ.  For you Boss fans this is where he wrote most of the songs on Born to Run.

 

1245 Under the Verenzano Bridge.  Up the East River to Long Island Sound.  You know, it really doesn't look that far to swim to Connecticut.

Karen, I think can see your house from here...

Wait a minute, damn!  Smithtown's in the way!
