Lots of water under the keel since the last post. Seems like we have been reefed down hard doing almost 9 knots or powering with no wind at all. After a great visit in home waters we have been heading South again. Currently, we are docked at the New York Athletic Club Yacht Club. This wonderful space is courtesy of Tom's cousin Dean, a great host even if he is a Giants fan . We have always had a ball here but this time planned a quick overnight waiting for favorable tides in NY city. They are early this week so we were underway today about 645 ( 0dark 45 really) . As we approached the East River we listened to a securite announcement by the Coast Guard. It turns out that the East River is closed most of the morning as well as most of the afternoon for security. The UN figured prominently in all announcements so we think that the president's speech at the UN is cause for heightened security. Since we want light and fair tide for this bit of water we will have to wait. We were back at the dock before 8:00 am . Felt a little like turning around the Constitution . Tomorrow is another day.
