Great Kills New York 40◦32'.641N 074◦07'.811W

Well our stop over for maintenance and general stuff is almost over. We actually moved from New Jersey Waterways on Saturday because it was too rough out there. We did not get the huge weather we were anticipating, although yesterday was spent in the fog all day long!
Today we went for a little walk into Great Kills. This is where we discovered that what they say about New York is true. Check out this parking Job.

As we were walking some other guy actually parked on the side walk, just in front of us! Oh well, this is the big city...well not really here.







There is still quite a bit of damage apparent from Hurricane Sandy around these parts. These poor docks are just completely gone, other than the pilings.











Not too sure what this gear system is for, but it is awfully big.













We are currently anchored in a mooring field and I must say, from afar it looks pretty nice.













The water however is completely disgusting in some areas.













Our count-down is on for Stephanie's visit, with only 3 more sleeps to go. We will be staying here for tomorrow and moving Liberty Landing Marina on the 12th.  This is on Liberty Island, with a great view of Manhattan.  So really no major happenings for now.

Happy Mother's day to our Moms. We miss you both!  Happy Mother's day to all the other Mommies out there too.

Night all.
Our Sunset tonight
