I drove down the West Side highway in Manhattan Tuesday Oct. 31, 2006,
and Intrepid was still at her regular pier. I think I heard something on
the radio about winds or some required dredging was the delay.


Today's Washington Post says that she will be moved on Monday. She'll be
towed five miles and be under refurbishment for two years.CNN just reported that she's gotten stuck...props are in the mud, I

don't think she's even really moved away from the pier much at all.
