But to our surprise, we were graced with sunshine - so much of it that we shed layers and ended up in shorts and short sleeves. What a relief from the rain and cold. We are parked now at City Island, in the shadow of the Big Apple. | over 7 years ago | Show |
| 41º 7.53' N | 73º 54.378' W | Thalia | 6/8/2017 On the move again (finally!). We headed up the Harlem River to avoid the craziness of NY harbor and joined the Hudson, motored under the Tappan Zee bridge and now anchored next to the picturesque cliffs of Hook Mtn State Park, near Nyack. Great to be on the road again! | over 7 years ago | Show |
| 41º 8.682' N | 72º 19.23' W | Thalia | 5/30/2017 Early start today from Cuttyhunk Harbor (5am), to get favorable current later in the day at the Race, entering Long Island Sound. Today was thankfully devoid of rain, a little rock and rolling crossing from Block Island Sound as we were exposed to the ocean swell, but all in all it was a good day. We are anchored at Truman Beach, out near the Eastern end of Long Island at Oyster Point. Some well kept houses in this ‘hood! | over 7 years ago | Show |
| 41º 25.77' N | 70º 54.408' W | Thalia | 5/28/2017 Anchored off the very popular Cuttyhunk Island - one of the Elizabeth Islands off the southern shore of Massachusetts. Luckily Buzzards Bay was mellow, by comparison, for our transit today. | over 7 years ago | Show |
| 41º 36.84' N | 82º 41.928' W | Thalia | 7/6/2017 Another long day of motoring with bugs infesting us on the deck and getting down in the cabin. This is day 3 of the bug wars, and the worst one!

Everything went well, lots of sunshine, but still cold enough to layer up like it was a mid-winter day. This is our first time anchoring on the trip. There’s a gentle rock back and forth - what would be perfect to lull a baby to sleep - but it will take a few nights of anchoring out for us to get comfortable. | over 7 years ago | Show |

We had an easy run down St Clair River, savoring the 2+ knot current helping us along, and trying not to act smug at those poor souls trudging up current like we did a month back. We are settled now at the Milliken State Harbor marina, where we stayed previously at Detroit. It certainly makes things easier when you’ve been to a place before and know the deal. | over 7 years ago | Show |

| 43º 3.63' N | 76º 59.55' W | Thalia | 6/23/2017 A long day of motoring through rural NY countryside, sometimes feeling like we were deep in the bayous of the South. We tried approaching the town dock at Clyde but ran aground so we continued on to Lyons, which feels like a better choice anyhow. | over 7 years ago | Show |

| 43º 12.102' N | 75º 26.952' W | Thalia | 6/16/2017 A relatively easier day today, just 3 locks!
