Boat on the East River passing Roosevelt lsland Williamsburg Bridge enhanced color cloudy metal print canvas print acrylic print

In the summer of 2018, our friends excitedly acquired a new, old boat. Nestled near Boston, they extended an invitation to us to join them in the adventure of bringing the boat back to our home marina in Staatsburg, NY. The prospect of this journey filled us with anticipation and excitement.

The trip was nothing short of amazing. As we navigated through the waters, we were blessed with remarkably calm conditions when passing through Hellgate and down the East River. These treacherous waters, known for their unpredictable tides and currents, can be perilous for small boats if not timed right. But on this day, fortune smiled upon us.

I couldn't resist capturing the beauty of our voyage, and my camera clicked away, documenting the moments that would become cherished memories. Among the many pictures I took, one particular snapshot stands out. It encapsulates the essence of what it was like to see New York City from the vantage point of a small boat.

In the photo, a sailboat glides peacefully alongside us, its leisurely pace indicating that the sailor was more interested in taking in the sights than making swift progress. This juxtaposition of our own journey, with the sailboat as a companion, added to the magic of the experience.

New York City stretched out before us, its iconic skyline and bustling streets seeming closer and more intimate from the waters of the East River. The city's unique aroma wafted through the air, and the freedom to explore places that tour boats couldn't access made it all the more special.

As I gazed at the photograph, it served as a vivid reminder of the extraordinary adventure we had embarked on. Seeing New York City from a small boat was a revelation - an experience that offered a deeper connection with the city's energy, history, and charm. If you have an affinity for the grandeur of New York City, I urge you to experience it from the perspective of a small boat. It's a different and awe-inspiring way to encounter the city that never sleeps.
