Leg 2.1 - Halifax to Staten Island

David Butcher

Set sail from Halifax in rough seas. Heading southwest toward the US coast in case Hurricane Melissa causes us any problems. Some motoring but a lot of good sailing. A few days out we turned west toward New York as Melissa is getting nasty. Sailed into Lower Bay, passing by Manhattan and Verrazzano Bridge, arriving at Great Kills Yacht Club just after dark. The crew enjoyed a much deserved beer at the bar and great service from Trish, the bartender.
