On My Way Again

UI'm

 It was Saturday morning when I left Riverside Marina. I rode the current down the river, pausing at Pea Island, while waiting for the current to change.  I spent the night in the Cohansey River. Next morning,  still flowing with the current, traveled to Cape May,  got fuel, rested a bit, then headed for Sandy Hook.

The sun was setting when I passed Atlantic City. It would be well pass sunrise when I stopped,anchored at Sandy Hook. I slept awhile and continued North into New York Harbor. All was well until it wasn't. My fuel problem reappeared.  I was restricted to 5mph. New York Harbor is busy normally, but this was the 4th of July.  I thought about stopping to watch the fireworks,  just fot a split second . The Cluster Muster on the water after the show would be way too stressful.  I anchored just north of the GW Bridge. I spent two nights at anchor, spending most of my time "polishing the fuel". It was a great experience, anchored across the river from Spuyten Duyvil, Dutch for "in spite of the Devil", where the Hudson and Harlem Rivers meet.
