We left Manasquan, NJ yesterday, under foggy skies.

Statue holding lantern is near the entrance to Manasquan Inlet..

Still quite a bit foggy early in the morning...

We pulled out onto the Atlantic Ocean around 9:30 am with our radar's on...
By the time we got to Sandy Hook Point, we could see the boats in front and behind us very clearly.

We were second from the last boat...had a pretty good ride up to Great Kills Yacht Club on Staten Island...

Today we took a 1 hour ride on the New York city express bus to the 911 memorial...

One of the new towers...

This is one of two identical memorials.  It is directly over the area where the North Tower stood...they have another just like it for the South Tower...

Around the tower memorials are the names of the ones who passed when the towers came down...




North Tower location...


We decided to take the Staten Island Ferry back to, of course, "Staten Island."

No charge for the ferry ride...
Cool!


Area where we just left from the ferry...

New York skyline...


Passed very near to the Statue of Liberty...

We can anchor over night just to the left of Ms. Liberty...
but we don't plan to...


When we leave Great Kills Yacht Club we hope to get a picture of our boat in front of the statue.
