Lets take a ride around Manhattan. . . .

I'm still in for this Sunday and will put in at Patsy's Bay Marina between 9:30-10am. Weather still looking great.
Ok, we're still in as well.
 
Would love to go. But I’m actually towing the boat up to Lake George for the weekend.
 
I did Manhattan today. Just got done washing the boat. The pictures aren’t loading up through my cell phone. I’ll do it from my computer tomorrow. Great day! I was going to cancel due to this mornings weather.

I did it yesterday too. I think I might have seen you coming down the Hudson around 2:30 I think. We left Patsy's around 10:30 in light mist. got down to the lady around 11:40 and hung out there some but way too busy. Rode back up to midtown and had lunch and finally the sun came out. Covered 90 miles or so via the boats trip computer.

I would do it again but we got back to Patsy's with zero fuel. So I will need to find some place to get fuel if doing it again.
 
Here are some pics. It was a Full Boat, filling 12 of 12 spots, full fuel, coolers, ice etc. All I can say is that the boat handled great with a load. Pushed through a lot of big boat wakes. NYC trips are always a blast and I'm always down to go! we always go swimming by lady liberty or anywhere on the Hudson side. not so much on the east river side hahajb3.png jb4.png jb6.png jb7.png

Glad to see you enjoyed your trip! A trip around Manhattan is on the list of planned summer trips for me. I'm pretty sure I've seen you and the 242X out near the Moriches Inlet and south shore a few times this year. I have a light Blue SX195 I picked up earlier this year. Cheers!

Yes absolutely. Im there almost every weekend. Come say hello, grab a beer!
 
We had to turn around before we ever got to the ramp Sunday. What started as a sick kid turned into a kid with the flu and me with pneumonia. Been down all week and too weak to go boating this weekend, like I had hoped, either.:(
