[alberg30] OpSail 2000, New York Harbor

[sandersm at aol.com]

Oh Hell, Lee, don't you get a kick out of riding the peak ebbs and floods 
through Hell Gate?  On a good day, you can go faster than the rush-hour 
traffic on the FDR Drive!

One caveat to your observations:  You might be able to get away with tying up 
at the docks at the South Street Seaport on a slow evening, if you have a 
salty-looking vessel.  (I did it once many years ago with the wooden yawl 
that was my first boat -- people there thought she was one of the exhibits!)  
But the Seaport does not permit docking at its piers, and you can be certain 
that you whill be shooed away if you attempt to moor alongside during a busy 
weekend, or at any time during the OpSail festivities.  

I thought I would be swamped with takers for sharing my OpSail slip, but no 
one has stepped forward.  I am paying $4/foot/night, which is $120 for an 
A30.  You would spend twice that for a tourist-class hotel room in the City 
that week, if you could locate one.  Takers?
