New York City

I had a day lay over in Newark and decided to take an open top bus tour of NYC. It was fantastic and I highly recommend you take a tour on your first day in NYC. Actually even if you live there and have not done the tour do it. The guides know the history of the neighborhoods and the current evolution of the city. I have been to NYC a couple of times before but now I know what and where everything is I am looking forward to my next visit to NYC to spend at least a week.

Las Vegas and Dom’s new home.

Arrived in Jolly Harbor Marina where Jim has moved Belle and begun preparation for our passage to Nova Scotia. The plan is to stop in St Maarten for a few days to pick up parts and final provisioning as it is a duty free port.
