The wind had picked up overnight and after two days of no breeze the boats had crossed anchors. The first order of business was to get them uncrossed so we backed around until the anchors were clear.
Jim got his anchor up but I had more difficulty. I guess the manoeuver to uncross the anchors had buried the anchor very well.
After a little bit of work we were off to go through NYC. Unfortunately, it was raining hard and visibility was poor. The waves were 3 - 4 ft and the admiral elected to stay below rather than risk the trip up the stairs. Fortunately she called me on the VHF to advise me just before I turned on the autopilot to see what was going on.
With his AIS, Jimmy kept me apprised of the approaching high speed ferries and we progressed through NYC with no incidents but very dissapointed that we could not see much.

We then drove to the Culinary Institute of America for dinner at the Bocuse Restaurant.
Set on a bluff overlooking the beautiful Hudson River, the main campus is unmatched by any other culinary school in the world. You can’t help but be swept up by the energy and enthusiasm of the students and faculty, all of whom have one thing in common—a deep passion for all things food. Whether you’re a student seeking a food-focused degree, an entrepreneur hoping to succeed in the thriving food business, or a home cook wanting to expand your skills, you’ll find inspiration here.
Dinner was great and well worth the 1 hour and 15 min drive. It was a great way to enjoy our last evening together as we start to make the journey back home.
