Another terrific post--I was worried about Eleanor getting through Spuyten Duyvil --as my father , a sailor on LI Sound--called Hell Gate, but Jon's boat handling is clearly as superlative as his writing. Impressive! The City Island-scape is beautifully captured, Terese. Sorry the ambience was so not-as-advertised! Interesting piece of Eleanor's history and she is so gorgeous! I'm glad you found a fascinating restaurant (love the Barber Pole--why caps? I don't know, seems respectful!) and an evening's entertainment--very nice, and I had audio for both videos.
I love the vivid descriptions of the sights and sounds at the destinations and the obstacles being dodged! The videos came through with sound for me. Keep the posts coming! Very enjoyable!
Hmm, Like father like son - Just like our dad was in love with his boat of Uffa Fox, English naval architect who took Charles and Anne sailing as kids and designed the Atalanta, Jonathan found Eleanor because of admiration for its unique designer.

Thanks, Jenn!

Great video! What a challenge, Jon. Heavy traffic and challenging water. You (and Eleanor) handled it well.
