00:00:05.955 --> 00:00:07.680
<v ->Seattle and New York Harbor is not</v>

2
00:00:07.680 --> 00:00:11.430
so dissimilar from driving
in New York City streets.

3
00:00:11.430 --> 00:00:13.230
It's, it's a very active place.

4
00:00:13.230 --> 00:00:14.880
Boats are constantly crossing.

5
00:00:14.880 --> 00:00:16.530
Trying to cross the Hudson is like trying

6
00:00:16.530 --> 00:00:18.990
to cross fifth Avenue, rush hour hours.

7
00:00:24.090 --> 00:00:25.890
<v ->Sailing in New York is a lot of fun just</v>

8
00:00:25.890 --> 00:00:28.530
because there's so many things to see

9
00:00:28.530 --> 00:00:29.700
and do along the way, right?

10
00:00:29.700 --> 00:00:31.890
Most, most places is all about getting

11
00:00:31.890 --> 00:00:33.570
to the place or the destination.

12
00:00:33.570 --> 00:00:34.680
You know, you look left or right in

13
00:00:34.680 --> 00:00:35.820
New York there's Statue of

14
00:00:35.820 --> 00:00:37.320
<v ->Liberty World Trade Center.</v>

15
00:00:37.320 --> 00:00:40.590
I went to a summer camp in New
Hampshire on Lake Winni Pasa

16
00:00:40.590 --> 00:00:43.500
and learned how to sail on small sunfish,

17
00:00:43.500 --> 00:00:44.940
four twenties hoby cats.

18
00:00:44.940 --> 00:00:47.940
So that was kind of where I
started and got the bug. I got

19
00:00:47.940 --> 00:00:50.880
<v ->Into sailing 'cause I
looked out the window one day</v>

20
00:00:50.880 --> 00:00:52.350
and I got the itch

21
00:00:52.350 --> 00:00:54.780
and so I, I rode my
bike down to the marina

22
00:00:54.780 --> 00:00:57.570
and the first person I saw,
I go, how do I get on a boat?

23
00:00:57.570 --> 00:00:59.910
It's the start of something
really big for me.

24
00:00:59.910 --> 00:01:01.560
<v ->I think when people
think of New York City,</v>

25
00:01:01.560 --> 00:01:04.830
they don't think of it
as a sailing destination

26
00:01:04.830 --> 00:01:07.140
or a great location for sailing,

27
00:01:07.140 --> 00:01:09.690
but it is one of the nation's oldest ports

28
00:01:09.690 --> 00:01:10.920
and at one time was the busiest

29
00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:12.330
<v ->Port in the world.</v>

30
00:01:12.330 --> 00:01:14.370
Sailing somehow blurs all the

31
00:01:14.370 --> 00:01:15.720
things that I'm passionate about.

32
00:01:15.720 --> 00:01:19.320
A good sailor is also a good
cook. Makes a mean drink.

33
00:01:19.320 --> 00:01:21.120
It's gotta be social. Especially
if you're gonna have crew

34
00:01:21.120 --> 00:01:24.660
on board and who doesn't like
a bit of adventure and travel.

35
00:01:24.660 --> 00:01:27.750
You jump to Maine. I'll tail
back here. You got it. Awesome.

36
00:01:30.270 --> 00:01:32.700
You got some fresh breeze out
here. Yeah, it's getting good.

37
00:01:34.590 --> 00:01:35.670
And she's sailing.

38
00:01:39.555 --> 00:01:42.780
Hell yeah. Andrew, you
wanna drive? Yes sir.

39
00:01:42.780 --> 00:01:46.410
No, I do idea not that
right? It handles nice. Yeah.

40
00:01:47.580 --> 00:01:49.470
<v ->I guess the current, it's
like sailing on the treadmill.</v>

41
00:01:52.680 --> 00:01:54.330
Introduce a lot of people to sailing

42
00:01:54.330 --> 00:01:56.580
and I've taught hundreds of
people how to sail in New York.

43
00:01:56.580 --> 00:01:58.650
To have the opportunity
to get out on the water

44
00:01:58.650 --> 00:02:00.285
and get out of the streets.

45
00:02:00.285 --> 00:02:04.350
I, I think it's a very therapeutic, almost

46
00:02:04.350 --> 00:02:05.850
<v ->Experience.</v>

47
00:02:05.850 --> 00:02:07.800
I have never ever been on the Hudson

48
00:02:07.800 --> 00:02:09.540
with a breeze with study like that.

49
00:02:09.540 --> 00:02:11.520
And you can just ride
it, but never happens.

50
00:02:11.520 --> 00:02:15.180
Every time I go in the
water, very taxi, everything

51
00:02:15.180 --> 00:02:16.980
that I can happen happens
to me in the water.

52
00:02:16.980 --> 00:02:19.560
But that was probably one
of the better days for sure.
