Despite two days of light rain or drizzle rather, we took the opportunity to visit New York, still exciting, fascinating and boundless. If possible, the city is more vibrant world of lights. New buildings have sprung up to replace the''old''fifties who was only 15/20 floors. The glass and steel have replaced the old dirty brick walls, the towers are always higher but more open than before.
To go to New York, we started from Jersey City who is in total upheaval. What was that dozens of factories, hundreds of abandoned warehouses, are now being razed, the land cleaned and a new city is being born, the streets are wider, thousands of trees were planted and new buildings are being built, office buildings, condominiums and shopping center but obviously in a much more harmonious than the''old''city. We have an opportunity to appreciate these drastic changes because we took a tram that winds ultramodern new streets in his lane, lined with trees. In twenty years, it will certainly be a very beautiful city. For now, we still see the cranes, demolishing old buildings, land to be filtered and the layout of future streets, all with wide sidewalks ... the Americans will perhaps get back to work!
After two days of marches in the streets of New York and traveled the very old, but to my surprise, very clean subway we leave New York for the last leg of our journey, the ascent up the Hudson Lake Champlain to benefit from the tide rising, we share in early afternoon and it is anchored in the anchorage area in Nyack, a small village, which looks interesting and pretty. Too bad we did not find the thingy in New York''WiFi''that would allow us to connect to the Internet from the boat.
Wetting is very good, firmly anchor was planted in clay. I hope that the consistency will not be the same as New York, the pudding with a good dose of ink, I had had a generous sampling, as for some reason escaped the windlass'' '' anchor spun and left almost 30 meters of warp, I was all over my jacket and deck, disgusting! But to return to Nyack, anchoring should be very uncomfortable with the wind north / south and a tide against the wind, because there is no protection.
