September 20, 2014 … New York … part 4


there she is … what we have come to see


this was a Sataurday, and there was a line up way out to the right, of thousands of people that want to walk around her, also helicopters, circling , and too many tour boats all fighting to get the closest to the statue … the wind was picking up for us and right on the nose and we turned off to head to Sandy Hook


and yet another bridge to go under


look at the people fishing on this boat, they are lined up side by side on both sides of the boat, it was very rocky, even for us 8 -10 ft seas, and our bow was under water on every 6th wave, it slowed us down to 1.5 - 2.5 knots, for the 2 hour crossing … thank goodness the tide was with us 


7 hours ….. 37 nm …. to Atlantic Highlands, Sandy Hook


we are at anchor right on the flight path to New York
I called the authorities and told our position … and he said " you did all that in one day" (Samford, C.T.  thru N.Y. state to New Jersey), "oh yes I said we had the tide with us" … okay you are checked in then …. truth be told we forgot to check in at Manhasset Bay … oops !!
