12-26 Red Hook

Pos: N18deg19.59min/ W064deg50.59min. Unfortunately, there's no viable anchorage here. There are tons of moorings, all private. There's an IGY American Yacht Harbour Marina, tres cher. So, in 20-25 knots of wind and a 3' chop on the nose, with ferries every 30 minutes running into and out of Red Hook going down the nearby channel and rocking us as they passed at high speed, we did what we had to do to get Sonja to the ferry terminal so she could get a taxi to the airport. We had a great time having her aboard! Actually, the good news is that our new Highfield dinghy handled the conditions really well. Conditions are bound to improve....
