TAPPAN ZEE BRIDGE!!!! And us NY'ers also call the Queenboro Bridge the 59th st bridge
@OLOH Жыл бұрын
Thanks for watching and for your note. As a lifelong New Yorker, I colloquially still refer to the GMC Bridge as the Tappan Zee. But for the sake of our content we use its proper name since the TZB was torn down and does not appear on modern charts and maps that way. Same with the Ed Koch Queensboro Bridge which is how it commonly appears. It will always be the 59th St bridge to me but since we're finding that a lot of people from out of the area use our videos as cruising guides, we aim to avoid any possible confusion by using proper names.

For an instance we see all our efforts for what they are, necessities of our own choice, but we are what we are and it is what it is. We are small in this world but we think big and when we trim to the breeze that there is and not the breeze, there ought to be, the wind will always bring us home.

This was like coming home for me. I grew up in Manhasset until the age of 12, when we moved to Miami. We kept our boat at the Capri. This would have been '57 - '58, and Capri was the new kid on the block. The much older more established Riviera Yacht Club was just down the street. Being 12 and a baseball fan, I was thrilled that the noted Brooklyn Dodger catcher Roy Campanella kept his boat just two slips away from ours. I'm now 77 and still living in Florida, but I sure miss boating on Manhasset Bay. Thanks for the video and the memories.

@@OLOH I crossed from Guilford, CT to Greensport, L I. I had timed the tide perfectly for my crossing except I didn't account for the fog. So I got a late start and paddled fast. I made it to within a mile and a half from shore when the tide changed. I paddled for an hour and a half while being in the same spot. The tide eased enough for me to make it to shore. Needless to say I was exhausted but if i stopped paddling I would have ben in worse conditions.

A couple of things come to mind after your great video and expert Captain skills. I'm just trying to add some comments. The ferry's and other commercial traffic use channel 13 so it's best to have 2 VHF radio's. one on 16 and the other 0n 13. Hell Gate is also known for lots of debris after rain storms and flash floods which adds to everything you mentioned. The debris gets more hazardous as your speed increases for those who have 30 plus knot vessels :) Thanks again Captain for a great ride ! Top notch !

Wow, talk about a fuel efficient run. We typically have plus/minus days here on the AICW along the east coast of Florida - you get the current from different directions depending on the tide state and if you're approaching an inlet, or down track from one. Glad you mentioned the currents affect on steerage - something to be remembered when voyage planning. Throgs Neck Bridge was always a bottleneck as we tried to leave the island, heading upstate for camping trips, on Friday afternoons. Like you, I sat in the back of the station wagon and was jealous of the boaters passing leisurely far below. Even after 40+ years Manhasset Bay and Port Washington look the same. Great boating spot.
@OLOH Жыл бұрын

@OLOH Жыл бұрын
Not that we know of. You would think that the Circle Line boats are taller than OLOH given their overall size, but they are not, at least regarding minimum air draft. Fixed bridges on the Harlem River restrict air draft to 22.5 feet which was even a problem for some of the older Circle Line boats at extreme tides. OLOH can clear 23' with her antennae down but that is too close for comfort to make it worthwhile for us.
