michael,can you give me approx coordinates for njnyus? Hopefully we willset sail enough before dark to be able to see something.I tried to send a map of the Shenendoah source area but coudn't getit to go out from that program. So instead you'll get some poorprints via snail mail. Sorry they aren't better. I need new cartridges.Coordinates for North River source are N 38deg 27.08min W79deg 15.25min.For Briary Branch N38deg 28.14 min W79deg 13.20min.Wish I could join you. Sounds like a fun trip.Jack
but if you are interested
& if you do depart on time
& the afternoon is clear
& you do follow the main ship channel out of new york harbor
as shown by topozone
& you have not had too much champagne yet
but havent managed to get the captain to swing a little to port either
then you still ought to have njnyus in plain sight at an angle of about 11
oclock
less than a mile off your port bow
just as you pass directly in between rockaway point & sandy hook
but the most dramatic photo op may occur a few moments later when rockaway
point reaches about 5 oclock
for then njnyus will be directly between you & rockaway point
about a quarter of the way to it but still at close range to you
& thus more or less perfectly centered in frame if you put rockaway point
at mid horizon
but in every case bon voyage
