Took our first long day trip this weekend from our home marina on the South Shore of Long Island to the Statue of Liberty and circled Manhattan. It was little less than 3 hours to get to Liberty Island and about another hour up the East River into the Harlem River and then south down the Hudson. We had nice weather with temps in the low 70’s and 2 foot seas which made this a great first trip off the year. NY Harbor is a busy harbor with freighters moving through and multiple ferries criss crossing the East River between Staten Island, Brooklyn and Manhattan. Besides seeing the Statue of Liberty on our own boat it was cool seeing the United Nations building, Freedom Tower and Intrepid from the water. It was also interesting going under all the bridges I’ve been driving over for most of my life.
Here’s a few pics.
