Had a quiet night, Wednesday, anchored near Northport, even though the wind came up early in the morning, it was a very protected anchorage. Thursday morning we headed out of the harbor around 8:30 AM, going west toward Port Washington, a few hours away. We travelled at “trawler” speed, but still made 9 knots since we caught a flood tide and had the wind astern. It was a little cool, but not as bad as the previous days.
We are now at Capri West Marina in Port Washington, a very nice marina with nice facilities. Their weekly rate is a bargain for the New York City area at $12/foot. Since we will be visiting Mariko while we are here (and borrowing her car) we decided to stay for the week.

The first day was spent washing down the boat, doing laundry and catching up on a few projects - one of which was to remove the table on the bridge which always seemed to get in the way. Mariko came out yesterday (first time she had seen the boat) and we spent the evening at her and Sean’s (her husband) apartment in Brooklyn, driving back to the boat around 10:30 PM and amazed at the traffic as half of New York City headed out to Long Island for the weekend.

Today we took the Long Island Rail Road into the city to meet Mariko who got tickets for an off-Broadway show this afternoon.

We saw “Clinton - The Musical,” an hilarious re-telling of the events from his presidency. Dinner in Manhattan with Mariko & Sean, then the LIRR back to Port Washington. Tomorrow we’ll head back into Brooklyn for Mariko’s Concert, then to Manhattan for a performance of Sean’s improv group. It’s nice to have a steady home base, even if it’s just for a week…
