2nd Post: Loop Day 7 Barnegut to NYC! Betsy

Words cannot express the excitement today's cruise brought Dave and I. Mine was the incredible sights and sounds of NYC... Dave's was dodging ferry's, barges, jet skis (yes, jet skis in New York Harbor) and the incredible currents that run all different directions.
Our day started at 5:15 when we left Greg's dock. I didn't sleep well last night dreading the return trip out through the marsh and narrow channels leading out to Barnegut Bay- but I could have slept soundly as Dave just followed our track out. There were 90% less boats with 50% of them going slower than yesterday as well as no wind= all was peaceful!

Because the trip was so beautiful and the sites so grand- I am just going to add captions and let the photos talk for our day. Tonight we are going to take a ferry from our marina at Liberty Landing over to Jersey City for some John's Time Square Pizza.

Our Memorial Day salute to all the men and women who have served or are actively serving in our military so we could enjoy this wonderful day on the water

Closer look at the Statue of Liberty- Notice all the tourists at the base

Ran right in front of us! Poor Dave!



The look of the new skyline- minus the Twin Towers. Tallest building is now the new World Trade Center.

Tomorrow we take a ferry to the September 11th Memorial and Museum. I hope you have enjoyed these first look at our sights on our approach to NYC!
