Finally we had a beautiful summer day with blue skies and a nice breeze. It turned out to complement our day in Manhattan that started with a ferry ride to the World Trade Center landing that we heard so much about during the 9-11evacuation! A few blocks away we took a walking audio tour of the perimeter of the site. If you’re ever in NY City I would recommend the walking tour which originates from the “Tribute WTC Visitors Center”.
From there we jumped on a subway and headed to 50th and 8th Ave. after a short hike on tired legs from yesterday we arrived at the Intrepid CVS-11 a WWII carrier that saw a lot of action and was hit five times by Kamikaze aircraft. In addition to the carrier a Growler Submarine and a Concorde were on display. After climbing around and through all the different displays the museum had to offer we walked over to 42nd and 8th another hike! We had a little dinner - I had a large ice cold beer - we located the subway and made our way back to the ferry dock to return to our boat and collapse! Tomorrow we depart the NY area and begin our trip north towards Vermont then Canada. We made the right choice to come here but it’s time to move on.
