Day Twenty Nine

We didn't leave Barnegat Bay Marina, in Brick, NJ, until 10:45 am.  We filled the fuel tanks and headed out.  We are hoping to get to a Marina where I can do laundry Tuesday or Wednesday.  We are still okay for provisions although we do lack a few items but nothing we can't live without.

We have discovered that on the ICW the water is not very deep.  Mostly between 8-10' but can be as low as 3'.  The houses along the waterway line both sides of the waterway and go on for miles and miles.  It seems that most properties along the waterway have their own dock and boat lift.  

These houses line the waterway on both sides

They look pretty new to me

North Beach Haven

North Beach Haven

Such small places

These look new

Always new construction

We anchored near these houses and I believe they are summer homes.  Either that or people go to bed at 5:00 pm.  No lights on in any of the houses.  Strange......to me anyway.

We left Staten Island around 9:25 am.  We travelled all day but did stop  to enjoy lunch along the way.  We made it to the Intra Coastal Waterway.  Yippee.

We will be spending the night at the Barnegat Bay Marina.  We will be fueling up, hopefully doing some laundry and provisioning if there is anything handy.

There were a lot of boats out today.  At one point I counted seventeen boats.  These were mainly people fishing from the boat.  I guess it is the think to do on a nice Sunday afternoon.

I didn't take any pictures today as my camera battery wasn't charged until we docked at the Marina.  

Day Twenty Seven

We anchored in Staten Island on Friday and Saturday night.  So not much to report for day 27.  However, I will post some of the pictures I took going through New York.

LaGuardia Airport - so many planes

Staten Island Ferry

Can't help but post this lady again

We hope to make the intra coastal waterway tomorrow.  We will be glad to get off of the ocean.  You never know from one day to the next what the ocean has in mind for you.

 Stay tuned.  I have not been able to charge my camera for photos.  Should be tonight.

Day Twenty Six

We left Joshua’s Cove around 9:40 am heading for New York.  Today was nice and sunny with calm seas again.  Sooo nice.  We went by Rikers Island, North and South Brothers Islands before heading into New York.

I took a lot of pictures as we travelled through New York but I certainly won’t post them all.  Some I will post tomorrow as the battery in my camera needs to be charged before I can get the pictures off.  These pictures are from my phone.

Downtown NY

Ferries - always going!!!

Ellis Island

Chrysler Building

Statue of Liberty

What a lady

We are anchored in Great Kills Harbour.  It is very nice here.  More pictures tomorrow, I hope. It depends on whether or not I can get my camera battery charged.  Power is a premium on a boat.

Day Twenty Five

We anchored in Joshua's Cove last night.  We are very disappointed with the anchorages so far.  They seem to all be covered in mooring balls.

We left around 9:20 am.  It was a beautiful sunny day but chilly.  The seas were really calm and made travelling today much nicer.  We should be a day away from New York tonight.  I will definitely take pictures.

Downtown New Rochelle

Today was Cora's birthday.  She turned 3 today.  She was being a good girl and used the pee pad.  Hmmm I should of had cake for her as a treat.

Looking forward to tomorrow.

Day Twenty Four

Enough said.....Oops I didn't say anything yet......Oh yes, enough said.  

The day didn't start or end on a good note.  All is well, so no worries.  Perhaps some day I'll include a tidbit from today.
