By request of the Secret Service, the Coast Guard will be closing the East River completely from 4- 6pm this evening.
Due to this closure and the potential for the closure to be earlier or later, it is undetermined what SeaStreak runs will operate.
SeaStreak will have a vessel positioned at E. 34th St. and Pier 11 for the Monmouth County run and at Pier 11 for the South Amboy run prior to the closure.* We will be priority boarding passengers (ticket books are required to be shown) and the vessels will depart immediately upon the opening.* Subsequent vessels will be boarded on a 'load and go' basis until we can return to a normal schedule.
We are sorry if this causes you any inconvenience but it is entirely out of our control.*
Preparing for this weeks UN meeting
Checking out the waters.
Sadly, news just breaking that one of the Aerican hostages was killed.
Hmmmm. Is that the norm?
That struck me as odd.
Today- around 11AM-noon- we were near Norwalk CT- close to CT metro rail, 95, and the LI Sound. At lease 6 separate helicopters were flying circularly over the area- for at least 45 minutes or so. We were at an office building, and a number of the workers came out to get a look. Some thought perhaps there was a major accident on 95 being monitored- but 95 was running just fine.
Any thoughts?
