Web site of Michael, Jeri, and s/v’s Cloud 9 & Aphrodite

September 22, 2005

We met Kirstin and Adam in Boston and sailed to New York Harbor with stops in Mystic CT. and Block Island RI. Ten days with them onboard gave us our first chance to relax and enjoy Aphrodite.  She is a beautiful boat which sleeps 8+ people, comfortably. Everyday offered different experiences; high winds for thrilling sailing, light winds for a spinnaker run, cool crisp nights for comfortable sleeping, fish on the line for dinner, 2 overnight sails for star gazing and whales for incredible entertainment.

In NY we moored the boat off 79th St. for $30/night only 3 blocks from the subway, enabling us to explore Manhattan with comfort and ease. According to Michael, New York City has been cleaned up considerable since he was last here.  We found the city to be clean, safe and very enjoyable.
