Took the center console to NYC to see the ships. On the way back, skies darkened, so we beat feet. Got back to marina ahead of storm. Just went thru 40 mins of heavy wind, torrential rain and lightning. Now its sunny again and a rainbow across the river!

Down near Atlantic City it was sunny and breezy until 4PM now it looks like it might rain or storm. It was fairly windy out of the south all day but the wind has layed down for now.

Decided to make like a trawler/sailboat and took a four hour tour around the island of Manhattan this afternoon. It's amazing how much more you can see at that speed. What a relaxing trip. Will do again for sure.

No rain yesterday or today. The wind was 12 -15 knots out of the south all day today. It clouded up again towards the end of the day but no thunderstorms. Today I had finished the generator service which included cleaning the heat exchanger. Now it's once again running like the day it was installed and it's operating temp is right on the money.

We had a great time in Bowline 8 of us during the day and 6 spent the night absolutely beautiful day today. I had to head home early so my kid could get some homework done otherwise I would still be out there. For a season kick off I give this weekend a 9.5 I could have done without the light show but other then that it was perfect.

The weather missed us at Zachs. We had a few sprinkles and that was it. Left Freeport at 5 and arrived at The Boathouse at 7. Should be another beautiful night on the hook tonight.

Dave, The last 2 boats of your raftup had a bad experience. One of them went to leave and hooked the others anchor. The fellow from the cat that was in there came over and gave them some help unhooking each other. They were lucky and I think both got out without any damage but there were a couple of times we were not sure they would.

Yes I heard about this I still can't figure out how they got tangled but I will take the blame I had them both drop and I was very careful as to the placement. We had three anchors out front and two stern I spreed them out like a fan one to the port one out straight forward and mine to the starboard I left uneventfully I wasn't there to see them struggle but I feel bad about it. They still had a stern anchor out so it's not like they spun and crossed lines. The stern anchor made it that much harder to correct the situation.
Aside from that it was a great weekend now I'm paying the price with a bad sun burn. I used 30 sunscreen but I guess not often enough!

We were very lucky that we did not have a bigger problem. Thanks to the guy in the cat he helped us get untangled. I cannot figure out how we got crossed up but it was a first time experience for me and I have been boating for a long time. Plus while we were moving around in Bowline I still had the stern anchor set and the dingy attached. After a while that anchor pulled up, however due to some good luck the line did not get tangled in my props.. and the dingy just went for a crazy ride. I think next time every other boat should drop... What a great weekend in spite of the mess at the end.
Oh and as I was trying to decide if I should re-anchor to put away the dingy and roll up the line on the stern anchor, a friend came in (Season Ticket)and I was going to raft with him. Well his windless jammed and he then had to come over and tie up to me while he tried to fix it. Once he realized he needed a new part, he went over and tied up with Anchor Management and Hogan as we had to leave. It did give us around 2 more hours in the pond...

Bill the reason we had three anchor in a row was because I asked the people I felt confident could handle the task I wasn't sure about people I have never rafted up with before.

You need an "anchor nazi". Someone has to take control and direct the deployment and retrieval of anchors.

That was my job but I left before the last two anchors were pulled and I feel like I failed. Next time we will but Hank in charge:) I'm good at passing the buck!
Truth is I felt real good about how secure we were for the night. My anchor was so locked in we weren't going anywhere it was hard to pull out and I was good with that.
I can't wait for the next raft up!

Hogan came in just after the incident. Then scariest part of it was the 39 silverton spun around backwards with the anchor rode going under the boat. Both boats had the line pulled tight. I swore it was going to turn bad there but they did get out of it and I dont believe either suffered any damage. At the end I think everyone can say it was a great weekend.

Butch we had to do that so we could see how the 2 anchors were attached. Once we scoped it out the guy on the cat was kind enough to unhook them as we lifted them out of the water and then let off some of the tension. I was not aware that the other boat went over his (our?) line/chain. That could have been a major mess....

He came over to ask me about finding a lift that was wide enough for his boat. He told me he found the cove on Active Captain.
