The Journey, Part 4 - Destination Reached: NYC 🗽 - FULL EPISODE (S2:E9)

[@AMCM2024]

Amazing series. Very well put together. I watch a lot of great loop, mini loop and general boating channels. This was interesting, engaging and fun. One of the best. Then you throw NDT in the mix! Fantastic. Best of luck and keep them coming! ...Mike - Boston, MA

That man, Dr. Neil Degrasse Tyson, is ALWAYS interesting to listen to. - Love him. Marc from Montreal, Canada.

Really enjoyed the series.....any idea on cost for the journey? Gas / locks?

[@WaterWaysTV]

Champlain Locks were free. By total fluke of timing it was the 200th anniversary of the system. Gas was about $1000 from Montreal to Manhattan and slip fees were low as we anchored out one night and Albany Yacht Club isn’t bad. NYC marinas are crazy expensive but compare it to the even crazier priced hotels and it’s not bad.

This is from the National Park Service re: Ellis Island- Is Ellis Island in New York or New Jersey? Since a U.S. Supreme Court ruling in 1998, Ellis Island, which is federal property, belongs within the territorial jurisdiction of both New York and New Jersey depending upon where you are. The Main Building, housing the Ellis Island National Museum of Immigration, is within the boundary of New York State. Since the island was expanded over many years to its current 27.5 acres, this expanded area is now mostly within the territory of New Jersey. First and foremost, the entire island remains federal property, as it has been since 1808. Thanks for this enjoyable series.

Thanks for watching (and for the details)!

Great series Steve. Did you consider taking the Erie canal?

[@WaterWaysTV]

Thanks! Yes, the original plan was Erie canal return but then Neil deGrasse Tyson agreed to be a guest but it wasn't until September so that meant a change of plans. An Erie episode (or two) could be in the cards for a future season though!

Still didn’t answer to fuel the advanture the cost

[@docdonmoskaluk]

How did you get the boat back to Toronto

[@WaterWaysTV]

@@docdonmoskaluk the original plan was to return via the Erie Canal through Oswego but due to time restrictions around Neil deGrasse Tyson’s interview so we towed it back.

[@docdonmoskaluk]

@@WaterWaysTV what size trailer did you use and was it a service

[@docdonmoskaluk]

What was the top speed in the tempest ?

[@WaterWaysTV]

Didn’t push it to WOT but average cruise speed bounced between 20-24 knots
