Iconic New England...Vermont is still home to a handful of scenic and classic covered bridges. Something about these bridges and yankee ingenuity, they always bring a smile to my face. I can imagine a hundred plus years of all sorts of wheeled transportation passing beneath this wooden roof.

Passing Manhattan Bridge

Sailing under the East River crossings provides a very different perspective. Passing the Manhattan bridge and heading north towards the next six bridges before the Sound will provide impressive views. Life is good.

When sailing around Manhattan there are always plenty of reasons to look up! Life is Good...

The Narrows

The Verrazano Narrows mark the entrance to New York Harbor. The Verrazano Narrows Bridge connects Brooklyn and Long Island to points south. I speak from first hand knowledge: passing under is much more enjoyable than crossing over as the bridge is frequently heavily traveled.
