Trip Through Hell Gate

After a fun visit with daughter Emily and her husband; Joe, we were ready to exit Atlantic Highlands. Son, Jamie, and girlfriend; Liz, boarded Kismet for the trip through NYC. We left at 0630 on Wednesday morning, and transited the East River at a high rate of speed - 11.5 knots through Hell Gate! We arrived in Port Washington at 1215, and picked up a free mooring ball next to Sally & Conrad, "It's About Time". After a shrimp scampi early dinner on Kismet, Jamie & Liz boarded the LIRR back to Manhattan. We are anchored in Oyster Bay Harbor for the weekend with "IAT".
