This morning around 7 am we left Liberty Landing Marina in a heavy haze almost fog like, that obscured most of the skyline of Manhattan. We turned south and slowly made our way to the Verrazano Straights Bridge through a harbor full of anchored ships and barges. We passed the Statue of Liberty and decided not to cruise behind her due to weather conditions. We passed under the bridge put Moor $tuffs bow into the Atlantic and turned around and headed north. 
We passed by Governors Island when the weather started to clear. We turned up the East River under the Brooklyn Bridge past the Brooklyn Navy Yard, Roosevelt Island and UN Building. We then entered Hells Gate a body of very fast moving and swirling water that pushed us up the river an additional 8 mph for about five minutes. For a moment, I thought I was in a water park! From there we entered the Harlem River with some delays due to construction of a new bridge. Once in the Hudson River the sky turned blue, the wind was light and we had a very nice cruise up the river until now!
We continue to have problems with obtaining wireless access. The last marinas wireless supplier didn’t work for three days. When I logged on here every thing worked until the storm hit! When we do get on - there will be a lot to send.
