The calm after the storm

I wonder if he is using the same wind we are using? Its the Friend Ship ahead of us, and the wind was so light that I couldn't figure out how to set my sails and he got way ahead of me, but I'm not certain he wasn't using the motor.

The blue-roofed brick building is the Coast Guard station adjacent to the boat ramp that I use. Battery Park is above it and those condos on the right.

The cruise boat heading left is Northern Lights, and right behind it the ferry Champlain is docked, not being used for some reason (must be down for maintenance)
