Day 95: 8.30.18 - Haverstraw to NewYork City

After laundry at the marina, we set sail. Last night the weather broke. Instead of very hot and humid with a south wind, we have not quite as hot, drier, and a good wind out of the north. Instead of tacking we're running! [Sailing with the wind directly behind is called 'running', to the side is 'reaching', while sailing into the wind is 'tacking']

We made about 30 miles, under the Tappan Zee bridge, past Yonkers, and into the northern edge of New York City. On our trip out we chose the East River, which was crazy with ferries, police boats, tides and waves. So we'll try the Harlem River. To that end we say goodbye to the Hudson at Spuyten Duyvil, and tie up to a dock hosted by Columbia College. Nobody says we can't spend the night, and there are no signs. Quiche for dinner.
