What this video covers

Docking at Chelsea Piers Marina in Manhattan provides convenient access to city amenities, though the location experiences significant wake action from ferry traffic during the day.▶ 0:56 The marina offers floating docks and proximity to subway lines and dog parks, making it a practical base for a week-long stay.▶ 1:39 While exploring the harbor in a Highfield dinghy, the crew navigated toward the Statue of Liberty and the Financial District, noting heavy tour boat traffic and choppy conditions.▶ 4:12 A departure before dawn was necessary to cover the 90-mile transit to Atlantic City ahead of approaching hurricanes.▶ 8:43 During the passage, a vibration in the drivetrain prompted an inspection of the engine mounts.▶ 11:56 Tightening loose bolts on the shaft mount eliminated the vibration and stabilized the assembly.▶ 12:11 The arrival in Atlantic City occurred after dark, requiring navigation by instruments and deck lights to locate a slip without marina staff assistance.▶ 14:06
