Day 96, 8.31.18, Harlem River to New Rochelle

As we're waking up a security guard comes by and says we're not allowed to stay here. I tell him we're waiting for the tide to change then we'll be off. In half an hour it does, and the current carries us up the Harlem River, past huge apartment buildings, warehouses, highways and more and delivers us into the East River and Long Island Sound. The current on the East was even stronger, and coupled with a stiff headwind was kicking up some good waves and tidal rips. Out on the Sound, the east wind has had the entire length of the Sound to kick up bigger waves. It's a rough crossing to take shelter in New Rochelle.

Days 36-38, August 4-6. Homeward bound

Exiting the New River near low is rather exciting. The whole estuary funnels through a narrow channel and can reach high speeds with rapids...
