8/3/07 – Margo, my dad, and I got up early this morning so that my dad could see as much of the city as possible during his very short visit there. We rented bicycles in Central Park and did a six mile loop and then met a relative for lunch at a café in the park. After that we took the subway downtown and saw the World Trade Center site. Andy flew in that afternoon so we went back up to meet him and then all went to the marina where I had the boat stored. We met one of Margo’s friends named Sarah and the five of us went on a sunset cruise in New York Harbor. On the way back, there was lightning all around us so we hurried as fast as we could to get back to the marina before the storm hit. We dropped Margo, Andy, and Sarah off at the dock and then my dad and I went out to the mooring field and secured the boat about two minutes before the storm hit. There was lots of heavy rain, strong wind, and loud lightning but we had little to worry about in the mooring field. We watched the storm for a little while and then went to sleep.
