Eldridge Tide and Pilot Book (2009), tells us the waxing gibbous moon (nearly full) rose at 18:24 EDT, and the sun set at 19:28 EDT on Wednesday, September 2, 2009. I was there, under sail, single-handed, in a gentle 10 kt. breeze on a late summer evening aboard North River 2 just west of City Island at Eastchester Bay.
