Field Trip comes to NYC

Since we are still in NY waiting for our boat, we are living vicariously through the current owners. In addition to reading their blogs, we look forward to their visits to NY so that we can hear more and hear their opinions regarding the ins and outs of the boating life. The appetizers were a hit and Sarah thinks they’ll be great for Sundowner parties so I have posted my first recipe (Mini-Buffalo Chicken Balls).

Field Trip in Manhattan

Last week we were lucky to host Field Trip (svfieldtrip.blogspot.com).  They rode the subway from the Harlem Yacht Club at City Island and headed over for a fun evening of boat chat. I think the children enjoyed the long hallway for advanced hot wheels moves. They spent the rest of the week in NY, seeing the sights and visiting friends.

We dream of sailing in the waters around Manhattan and were eager to see an Antares sailing by. Having missed the last Antares that sailed up the East River, Chris and Erin on Barefeet, we did not want to sleep through this one.

We woke up early on Sunday morning and waited for the departure text. I set up the camera on our balcony and Jason raced down to the river to get a closer view. While the boat is slower than the cars on the nearby FDR, it still went by way too fast for our taste. We would have preferred being able to savor the moment a bit more.

For now, we can enjoy looking at the photos and dreaming of Two Fish’s future sail in the same waters.
