The Next Adventure...

We've been talking a lot about sailing this summer.  And why not?  It is relatively cheap (once you get the boat), there is so much to see by sea, and we can be weekend warriors!  So, the spring re-fit season is approaching, and we will document what we are doing to get Destiny cruise-ready once again.

Some of the potential trips in the idea bin:

Hudson River Cruise: up the Hudson to West Point and points north.  Perhaps as far as Albany... and who knows, maybe we'll lock up to Lake Champlain!  That would be greta trip.

New York Harbor - Hells Gate - Long Island Sound:  I've always wanted to do this trip... NYC skyline by night, and into LI sound for a weekend of exploring.

NJ Shore:  I haven't been back to the fickle NJ shore for years.  Lots of great beaches and harbors, crazy inlets with brutal currents, gambling (of course)... and the Inter-Coastal Waterway for those days when the weather offshore looks too sporty.

That will keep us busy... for now.  At this point Destiny only needs some cosmetic work, along with a few electronic upgrades, and a bimini cover for some shade in the cockpit.  We will keep you all posted.
