We left early this morning from City Island to catch the 7am high tide to help us through the East River. When we reached the city it was as if we were on a private tour bus. Apparently Dad and I navigated like tourists as well. We near hit a channel marker and a ferry. The river was busy with a number of ships about, but we still managed to enjoy the sites the East Side of Manhattan had to offer. Watching various runners on East River Drive was particularly entertaining. Different people, different colors, shapes and sizes, strangers all running the same route, back and forth. Most of the runners were women with seemingly different motivations for running - weight loss, fitness, stress relief. It made me want to run with them. We soon left the city behind and got a good seat in front of the Statue of Liberty (where we almost got hit by the ferry). Then we were off to Sandy Hook, a short ocean sail away.
