Sunset colors in the Big Apple seen from the river that surrounds it

The judgment on dinner price and service would be from three dots (so not bad), the beauty of the short (expensive) dots cruise deserves five. Chelsea Pier, 🚢 at the first dusk at 7 pm, we are not many on board, despite being Saturday night, evident that the more than 120 💸 dollars per person have made selection. Buffet with good orecchiette with garlic cream (you can find it almost everywhere in the kitchen .. I don’t mind but ..) then pans of stewed pork bites, a red fish itself seasoning, three boiled vegetables including their good potatoes, pilaw rice. Excellent that Roast Beef cooked to the point, fresh fruit salad and several sweets disputed between the ladies, all according to the formula “all you can eat” 😋 And since in the first three days to not miss the City, we went to “buns on the fly” 🥪 .. here we gave our best 🤪. Also here water 🚰 ice included, wine and beer from the prohibitive cost. At 8pm we drop what the speakers are for in the middle of the room: D. J. set 💽 at great volume 🔊where, when you return from the tolda for a photo to the wonderful pre-night landscape (windy), you can warm up in 💃 wild dances until the mooring at 21:30. Welcome the chocolate 🍫 offered on landing.

Very beautiful experience! We had perfect weather and a gorgeous sunset. Yuri, Sam and Collin were excellent sailors and made the trip so enjoyable. Great views of the city and Lady Liberty! I would recommend a sailing experience over any other!
