Alli has been wanting to take a friend of hers and his GF out for a sail, and we finally got it together today. We left about half an hour before sunset, sailed toward the bridge in the vanishing sunlight, turned around by the bridge and headed home.

Tonight was one of those September nights that I love: light breeze, warm and then cool, and just enough clouds to make a killer sunset.

21. back to school eve

NY Harbor School

I interviewed at the NY Harbor School three years ago. They offered me a job teaching Social Studies the day after 'Pequa gave me an offer I couldn't refuse (teaching English). I was convinced that NYC would not do the right thing and put them on Governor's Island. They were in Bushwick! It's about 40 minutes by subway from the Harbor.

The school, the principal, and Murray Fisher deserve recognition. Harbor School deserves the 10k. Can you imagine the dedication it takes to run a maritime-based high school that is almost an hour from the Harbor?
