Dear Readers,

We are finally under way. These lines are the last, issued about the wireless network of the Fishing Bay at the mouth of the River Rappahanock on this website. It is here just nine clock in the morning, of steaming coffee, equal, we will probably take a few pancakes or eggs into the pan and then go to anchor.

Yesterday we were in Deltaville sailed here over, had the diesel- water tanks and filled up to the stop and we still indulged in a day in the Marina for laundry. Yesterday we were on borrowed bicycles again in place, to supply us with fresh food. Very strange feeling, on a BIKE be traveling in the U.S.. So far I had not seen many here.

The last night we have spent in front of the Marina at anchor. Actually, we had already planned departure for Sunday and would have been far too ready, but lasting and greater north winds have made it our difficult, to sail to the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay north to New York. So we had to wait. Today the wind is with only 5-10 Knots from the north, But to turn around midnight on South. So perfect, to go to New York. Crow about are the 210 Miles. With the south course to the mouth of the Bay, but it will certainly 260 will. We expect - depending on the wind - with about 2-3 Days for the route.

Mooring we are in New York then Vorraussichtlich directly across from Manhattan into the Hudson River. From there you can well take the ferry to the city and the berth is indeed extremely expensive, but still not as expensive, as if it were directly in Manhattan.

A big part of this whole journey, we want to devote the filming. Egi has developed for this purpose, some special constructions, enabling, the boat to shoot from awkward angles throughout. Here you see a gimbaled outboard camera. We are very excited, whether on this test drive in New York everything is proven.

During this journey, it is under “Positions” not give any updates, daily but during the Atlantic crossing after takeoff from New York. But I will report each day in the coming days on this blog, what we are doing along the East Coast Sun. The update works very honored by Iridium phone.

Best regards and see you soon!

John
