Gowanus Canal to Buoy #9

August 28, 2005

Because of yesterday’s wreck, Andrew offered to take me out in his boat, instead of our proposed trip.

Here is Andrew reading from his Captains Log; a log he keeps of all the trips he takes in his canoe.

Today’s entry in the Captain’s Log:

28 Aug 2005

80° overcast

6pm

with Marie Lorenz

Marie read the tide charts. We had calm water the whole time. Very few boats in harbor so we went straight out, my first time reaching Buoy 9 (the edge of Bay Ridge Flats). Returned right at sunset. Smooth trip.
