I lived in NYC (St George, Staten Island) and worked out of Governors Island for 2 1/2 years. I sailed the LIS, East river, Hudson River up to Albany, Ny, Upper and Lower NY Harbors, Raritan Bay and River, Kill Van Kull, Newark Bay, and the Arthur Kill. That was all year round. I do miss going by Woody's Junkyard/Staten Island in the Arthur Kill. Icebreaking on the upper Hudson River (above Poughkeepsie) was always a fun thrill!!!!

It was a real surprise watching the twin towers falling down since my DW worked on the 17th floor of the North Tower while we lived in NYC. We used to meet in the basement (mini mall) for lunch and go raid the nearby bars after work.

1979 - 1981 was a truly great time to live in NYC. We had some truly great times there!!!
