Great Kills Yacht ClubStaten Island, New York
Day
three here on Staten Island. We did some
cleaning in the morning then walked to an Italian market which happened to be
next door to an Italian bakery – wow – those were both worth the walk! We came back with chicken parmesan, great Italian
bread, cheesecake and cookies.
We
stopped inside the yacht club bar and looked at the framed photos of the damage
done by Super Storm Sandy. The surge caused the floating docks, with boats tied
to them, to lift off the pilings and end up on the ground. The damage was extensive.
Jerry
and Wendy came over for docktails and we had a good time recalling our journey
together and catching on news since then.
We
continue to watch the wave report and with 6-10 footers through Saturday, it is
a no brainer. We will be able to see Sunday’s
forecast tomorrow and can only hope thing will improve.
