Port Washington

Latitude/Longitude: N40°57.982' / W073°05.994'

Today we motored up the East River through New York City.  This is a thrilling thing to do in your own boat and I was really looking forward to adding pictures.  Well, it was foggy and drizzly!  I did post photos on the trip south in the fall so am very happy we have done this trip through the city before or I would have been hugely disappointed.  When we cleared Hellgate , a section of the river that has to be done at slack tide as the current can reach 8 knots, it was still very foggy so we pulled into Port Washington to take a break and have lunch.  The fog lifted enough for us to carry on so we did and went into Port Jefferson for the night.
