The best view of the city from Liberty State park. a short walk from liberty landing. We stayed there during Sail for America and would recommend it to everyone. Like you said, water taxi right to the city, very convenient.

my mast height, sans instruments, antennas and lights is 65', draft is 6 (or so). I've spoken with some who claim to have done Norfolk to Beaufort with this exact type of boat with problems..but they may have had ulterior motives.

CT to Norfolk
I just returned from Norfolk by car after sailing the boat from CT to Norfolk this past weekend. We left from Westbrook,CT on Friday and arrived on Monday AM. It was a bit short on crew as I had to share my 3rd crew (I prefer at least 4) with a friend from Martha's Vineyard who was alone on his Hans Christian 48. We sailed down as a pair. On Friday, mid-day, we passed by the UN on the way down the East river. We spent a very enjoyable overnight in Sandy Hook then set off mid-day Sat for Norfolk… Continue

carole lowry said… - Found your site and answered my own question re-live aboard. Great life, if I could only stop working. Down to 3 days/ week but cannot seem to break the last tie called funding my lifestyle.
My dream is to do the Pacific via the Panama. Possibly back home to Australia to visit family than off again.
Have a great summer

Well being a sailor and all I couldn't fathom the thought of getting a pet without having a nautical name. So one day I ended up with a female cat and named her Gale S.
The name spelled Gale was after the winter gales we got in New England that t...
