Raritan Bay
Adventures beyond the Verrazzano bridge
at Keyport YC and Richmond YC
We left from Liberty Landing YC on Friday August 19th into 15 - 20 kts, and had a wonderful sail out past the Verrazzano bridge where we caught the last of the sunset just as we crossed under the bridge. Caner drove most of the route, and the weather was wonderful.
We motored after dark, spotting channel markers like an adult game of “I spy with my little eye..”.
We arrived in Keyport YC near midnight to a very nice launch driver but the grimiest mooring pennant we may have ever seen.

Fresh baked bread slathered in butter, blueberries, cherries, granola, yogurt, eggs, fresh ground coffee and more made the morning civilized.
Underway
After a quick lunch in Keyport, we cast off and had a nice sail across the bay up to Richmond harbor.
Sky’s The Limit
Along the way, our friends found us and cruised into Richmond YC.
Happy Anniversary Marcus and Jolanda!
Richmond Yacht Club proved to be a very nice, calm, bug free mooring we greatly enjoyed.

Dinner at Giuliana’s Ristorante was a delicious and entertaining experience.
Marcus and Jolanda traded coffee for a wonderland of toys the next morning

Malisa did really well zipping around the mooring field on the sunfish.
Finally, Sunday afternoon we headed back under the bridge into Hudson Harbor, where we celebrated with some gin and tonic in our slip as we put the boat away. Another great weekend!
