My sweet sister made Ken and I breakfast before going back to the boat...she made me make my own egg as I am affectionately called "The Egg Snob" So I made a mess of things...didn't have my special egg pan...I don't like the edges to be brown...so after breakfast, T & I went grocery shopping...then we loaded up and went to the marina....
1:45 PM- we unhooked from the mooring, left the dinghy tied to the ball, then went out for a wonderful ride past the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island,etc. and down the business district and past the new building that is being built where the twin towers fell on 9/11...dang, I hate getting old...can't remember the new name of that building....wish my tour guide sister was here..she knows all about it..we raised our glasses to toast Lady Liberty, but could not anchor there...police patrolling it and ferry boats and tour boats all over the place....beautiful day and nice ride...
On our way back to the marina, we are looking at the skyline and taking pictures when all of a sudden behind us we hear "HONK, HONK, HONK"...We look back and directly behind us about 200-ft or so a big ole barge being pushed by a tugboat was coming up on us fast. Ken turned a 45 quickly...no worries...we got out of the way...I think those tug people snuck up on us on purpose to scare the ba-jeepers out of us....Of course that is one of my jobs to let Ken know if anything is behind us...
4:00 PM we got to the mooring....ate a nice lunch...visited then loaded T & P up in the dinghy and Ken took them to shore...about 6:30...didn't want to leave in the middle of rush hour...
Sunny & in the 80's just beautiful day!
ya ya sisterhood...love my little sis!
