Project day started with a walk to the Path subway station with Shirla at 5:00, then a run around Liberty Park followed by a shower and nap. After that I washed the boat and reconfigured how to tie the dingy to the boat. I walked to downtown Jersey City and that was interesting.
This evening I was sitting in the cockpit watching the water taxis bring workers back from Manhattan to a commuter lot that is right by the marina. Maybe it’s just me but that seems so sad. I don’t know when the last taxi comes in but they come in every thirty minutes and the last one I saw was at 7:40. Here these guys get to their car around 7:45, have to drive home to who knows where, have dinner, etc. That does not sound like a fun life to me. I guess we all do what we have to do.
Wednesday:
I took the Path subway to the NY this morning. For two bucks it is quite the deal. I walked less than ½ mile to the station and the train took me to 33rd and Broadway. There were a few other stops before 33rd street. What a crazy place! It got to 97 degrees today and the city was wall to wall people. I strolled to Central Park and later paid half price for a front row seat and saw Jersey Boys. That was excellent. I noticed it does not take long to get into the flow, paying no attention to traffic lights when crossing the street, etc. It was a fun day.
