View from Liberty Landing Marina |
We left the dock at 6:15 a.m. and pulled into Liberty Landing at 5:45 p.m. We had swells yesterday left over from the week of winds that we waited out in Cape May. We expected the swells would diminish today. It wasn't meant to be. The swells continued, but a 10 knot south wind caused a following sea to develop throughout the day. Instead of just swells, we had swells with a following sea. The autopilot doesn't do well with following seas, so we yawed back and forth while riding the swells up and down. It was cold and overcast most of the day and overall a pretty miserable trip. The good news is that we made it to NYC. Coming into the city was pretty amazing. Though there were tankers, ferries and tugs, it was no worse than many Sunday afternoons around the Palm Beach inlet. We can now look forward to the last leg up the Hudson River, through the Champlain Canal and then to Lake Champlain.
Glad to see you made it through the North Atlantic. I was relived when that part of the trip was over too. We're having a great time on the Erie, hopefully we will see you when we come down through Lake Champlain in August. Enjoy your trip.
