Anchored Behind Lady Liberty

We arrived in NYC yesterday and motored down the Hudson River. Decided not to stop at the 79th Street Boat Basin; abit too rough in the mooring field. We dodged ferries and tug boats and snaked our way through the buoyed channel to anchor in Liberty State Park. We were the only boat in well protected 16 feet of water. Jim had his first salt water swim; and loved it. My cousin Barry and his wife Nesrin from Hoboken NJ came over for a visit. Nesrin was abit skeptical about the dinghy ride, etc. but Kismet won her over. We had a lovely dinner onboard, and a great reunion, with the Verrazano Bridge and Lady Liberty adding to the ambiance.
