Staten Island, NY Day 2

Miles Traveled 0
Total Miles Traveled 4836
Day 261

After dinner last night, we stopped by the marina’s Great Kills Yacht Club to meet some of our new friends.  This area was devastated by hurricane Sandy in 2012.  We met several members of the yacht club that shared their story of the hurricane, the effect on their boat, and how the members pulled together to put their marina back together.

Before the Hurricane Sandy.


After Hurricane Sandy.


This is one of the friendliest, most outgoing group of people we have met along the Great Loop.   Today was the yacht club’s annual summer opening ceremony and we were invited to all of the festivities, including food and drink.








Some of our new friends, two of which are loopers , “Summertime” and “Miss My Money”


“There are good ships and there are wood ships, the ships that sail the sea……but the best ships are friendships and may they always be….”
