NYC metro pelicans - want to go sailing tomorrow?

Very short notice I know, but wanted to extend an invite to NYC area pelicans to join an evening NYC harbor cruise aboard "Windy" - a 32' sloop.

A fellow pelican (screenname = Billjam) from down under is touring the USA with his wife and I'll be showing them our fine city from the water. It would be great to have a few other area pelicans join the cruise.

Meeting up at 5pm, shove off 5:30-6pm. Windy is berthed at Liberty Harbor Marina in Jersey City, NJ. Easy access on public transport via PATH (Grove Street Stop).

Anyone?

Now thats where its at.................

Anytime your headin down to Atlanta, your welcome aboard "Breezin II" my 30 foot Catalina.
Nothin like open water where your at, but down here all we can offer is a large Army Corp impoundment, great mountain scenery and the good ole "Lake Lanier two step" (run down and beat up grinding winches all day!!).

Enjoy the cruise.

Thanks

Thanks for your invitation and hospitality Jacob (and Irene of course).
Toni and I had a fantastic time on the river and have great memories of NYC that will be with us for a long time.
