Dear Readers,

same time has come. Once this new blog entry is posted on the Internet, with us the mooring lines fly on deck. It goes into the Hudson, The sails are set and we leave to the 3,5 Current node of the river float down to its mouth. Left the Manhattan skyline, right of New Jersey. Then comes right Ellis Iceland, then the Statue of Liberty, and when we crossed the bridge over to Staten Iceland, We are almost out on the Atlantic. From there we will go directly to us, and on the East Course 40. Latitude shimmy across to the Azores.

The weather looks perfectly for the next days. With a tailwind 3 Winds. Today the weather is however rather hazy.

Just before crossing the Atlantic – what makes you so? I am unusually quiet today, as if we'd just warping to the other side of the Hudson and not to the other side of the Atlantic. I'm surprised myself, that for me the tension and nervousness keeps fairly limited. This is the great curiosity. Curiosity, what awaits us out there, what's the weather, whether we are making progress and what will probably happen so. We will see.

Yesterday we went shopping again. We have stocked up on fresh stuff and water supplies are replenished. As a farewell to New York we were over there again in the evening in Manhattan and treated ourselves to a steak house is a real New York Sirloin Steak. And tasted like mine, muss die Kuh ein wahnsinnig gesundes und glückliches Leben geführt haben 😉

This morning, the day was no different than just the last few days. Get up, Coffee, Internet in the Marina Building, calls via Skype home. Now we are equal to the last things stowed below deck seaworthy and then we remove the same. Before the bug already a camera depends dip housing, hung fully cardanic, the spinnaker pole and to our film deposition. The second clamp on the Pulpit. We want to bring a lot of pictures from this trip and look forward, how the whole gadgets.

Every day there will be from now on a logbook entry via Iridium satellite phone. The site will also position. There is every day a new pin. The Twitter will not work during the Atlantic crossing unfortunately.

So far.

Greetings from New York for the last time. Here we go! 🙂

Beim Bummeln in der City fand ich diesen Aufkleber bei Starbucks auf dem Klo 😉

Under the name of “John” can be in the U.S. to introduce a little bit.

At the last shopping trip to the supermarket, we have equipped ourselves on the advice of my uncle a little against the mosquito plague described ...

With the pirate threat zunehmden Egi was also of the opinion, we should at least during the night watches in principle lead us each a laser sword.

I was against it convinced, that our maple syrup reserves will gallons to another (!) should increase.

The last night we spent in New York City on Times Square. Even on a Tuesday night where life pulsates. Greater contrast can not be – from the big city to the lonely emptiness of the Atlantic.

Before we move to the next few weeks durable canned food, gönnten wir uns in einem typischen New Yorker Steakhouse ein echtes Sirloin-Steak 🙂
