Sailing through NY Harbor!!!

Ok, this was BY FAR the coolest thing I've done in New York!!!

One of the designers at work, Ron, took Dave, Eric, Jef and I out sailing with his wife and a few friends. AH-MAZE-ING. I've never been sailing. When we sailed out into the harbor with a gigantic wall of Manhattan in front of us, Ron cut the engine, the sail let out a POP when it caught air, and then, nothing. Just the sound of the water, a buoy bell ringing off in the distance, and then the crack of a single beer can opening, Tons of other sailboats were off in the distance, the sun was setting, the Statue of Liberty standing tall. Wow.

That's all I can do to describe it. Here are a few (out of something like a million) photos.

"Captian Ron's" boat


The financial district behind me...


The crew: Eric, Jef, Ron, Dave, Claudia and Kelly. (Frank got cut off!!!)


You know who this is...


Keeping the boat balanced ;)


I can't tell you how bummed I was that I couldn't take any night photos (my camera is stuck on night, and with the boat moving, they wouldn't come out right). All I could do to feel better was to remind myself that we'd be out there some time again.
