Leaving NY City and the Jersey shore

I met Nick at 8AM sharp at the Wall St Pier 11 We heed out on the twin hull catamaran

that had just discharged about 150 or more Wall Street commuters and boarded for the ride out NY Harbor. 

Right past the Statue of Liberty. 

And another in my Lighthouse collection. 

In the elevation of the ride however we didn't notice the headwind and thought it was just the speed of the boat. But once we arrived at the Jersey shore and started to head south the very powerful 20 to 30+ wind from the south became very readily apparent  

The going was slow and we only could average 10 mph  

That being said it was a beautiful day though at sunset we had not reached our intended "warm showers" destination. Instead we stayed at the very quaint and classic Barneget Motel. 

We had a great nights sleep and could check the weather which did not look good for the following day. Heavy rain starting at 9AM.
