NJ, Brooklyn

This is mostly new territory for me, so lots of pics.  If recent posts seem light on details and pics it’s because I’ve done most of it before.  Go back six years and you’ll see my first trip on Mazurka.

Also my tracker is on, and you can see my recent route here for those following along in near-real time.

To catch up – I’m anchored here.  Nice spot, lots of birds, and golfers on the left.  Manhatten skyline astern.

Yesterday I set out to explore three rivers in NJ – Raritan, Hackensack and Passaic.  I had high hopes for going some distance up each.  In all cases I was blocked by closed train bridges that were too low. 

By the end of the day I had covered the NJ side and and stopped in Newark immediately adjacent to Red Bull Marina.  There’s a park and dinghy dock there.  Had a burger out at a local bar.  Nice.

Today I headed out the harbour and over to Coney Island and in here.  Neat area.  I’ve never been to Long Island.  I like the seaside view so far.
