Friday October 4
I got up early, around seven, and will have to prepare the boat for our first departure. Single-handedly got the store away. All the other things required to start sailing. I tried to call several marinas, but none of them had fuel or handled sailboats or responded. I tried motoring into Terry Marc Marina, but there was nobody there. Nobody answered the phone. Nobody answered the radio, so I left and headed to Haverstraw Bay Marina. I arrived just before noon, fueled up, and got a pump out. All before the lineman's lunch.
I started heading south to the Statue of Liberty, 36 miles away.
I wore my life jacket the whole time.
I got up very early the next morning and departed the Manhattan skyline, sailing the first segment in a broad reach.
Eventually, the engine and motor sailed until the winds died.
Anchored behind the Statue of Liberty using a recovery line with a float on the anchor, as Mark suggested.
I was able to fly the drone.
It was a rolly night at anchor.
