Start spreadin' the news. . . . . .I'm leaving today. . . . .

New York, New York!!!!  We finally made it out of New Jersey but not soon enough for me!  We found a protected harbor in Great Kills, NY and there are hundreds of mooring balls with boats attached to them.
Thanks to all who prayed for smooth sailing for us on the Atlantic Ocean.  We had no problems at all.  We made the trip up to New York in about 4 hours, behind some new friends, Jerry and Joan.  They are moored here in the harbor tonight very close to us.  Mike & I both agreed that if we had to end our trip today (but we're not planning on that) it was worth all the work getting here.  The things we have seen and the people we have already met will last a long, long time.Tomorrow, (weather permitting, our new phrase)
we will motor through New York Harbor and see Lady Liberty from our boat.  We are excited about it.  The weather has been super. The high temp today was about 80 and last night we had the windows open and slept under a blanket because it was so cool.  We will continue pressing on up the Hudson River and try to get as far as Poughkeepsie before leaving the boat to come home for the Jerry Burns Annual International Golf Tourney and the 4th of July.  The picture is of Jerry and Joan's boat named "N II Wishin".
