Yes, we saw some blue in the sky and what a treat it was! For the most part the weather supported our arrival into NY harbor and our rendezvous with the Statue of Liberty. What a GRAND sight she is as you cruise by her! Barb and I both get to cross this day off our bucket list! We have actually made it from the Mississippi to the Atlantic in this boat - not a bad accomplishment and were just getting started!
The city skyline is beautiful and very impressive but it can’t compare with the Chicago skyline from the water! The view is breath taking and memorable none the less. The weather is improving every day – a little blue sky, a quieter sea and some warm temperatures -----it all added up to one hell of a grand entrance to meet The Statue of Liberty. Tomorrow we will be tourists and visit the lady then Ellis Island. We will take the ferry to Manhattan get on a subway and visit the aircraft carrier Intrepid CV-11. Barb and I are staying in a very convenient location to do all of the things we have planned. As a side note the marina manager said that the weather in this location has been bad 16 of the last 18 days! Doesn’t look very promising for tomorrow but what the hell were going to go sight seeing one way or the other!
