The box of charts arrived! The way we found out about it was rather odd. We had gone over to Manhattan and were walking along 34th Street, trying to find the marine supply store we went to last year. We saw a camera shop and went in to buy a roll of film. Roy, as usual, asked about a wide-angle lens for his camera. He's been trying for years to find one at a decent price. To his amazement, this store had one for only $49! He wanted to be sure it would fit his camera, so he went back to the marina to get his camera. When he got there, the dockmaster told him a box had arrived for him. If Roy hadn't gone back for his camera, we wouldn't have known about the box until tomorrow morning. It was certainly nice of Steve to mail it so promptly. Now we have all the charts we need for heading north.
We returned to Manhattan, ate lunch at McDonald's, and visited the Intrepid Air-Sea-Space Museum. Went on a guided tour of a submarine and the lightship Nantucket. While we were visiting the flagship Edson, a thunderstorm hit. Lucky we were inside. The rain poured for several minutes but soon passed by. Then we went over to the huge aircraft carrier Intrepid and spent the rest of the afternoon wandering around it.
