New York, New York

You know, I like people and I like wine. I like to sip wine, but I would not like to take a bath in it. New York is full of energy and wonderful people, but for me, it was too much.

Beverley's youngest daughter, Brooke came to visit us. I think the visit was a success. They went shopping while I cleaned and fixed the boat. We both got done what we wanted.

We stayed at the anchorage at the 79th street marina. It was pretty rolly, but well situated near the center of Manhattan with easy subway access. Initially, we had a long trip through the anchorage to the dingy dock (just visible in the distance), but we moved on the second day as mooring balls became available.

Amongst places we visited were central park and ground zero where the Towers once stood. There is not a lot to see, but the site is pretty sobering nevertheless.
