We left Atlantic Highlands Municipal Marina at 8:45 AM and arrived at Half Moon Bay Marina in Croton on the Hudson at 3:00 PM.  Winds were light and we had a nice ride all the way. Here are pictures we took of Sandy Hook and The Verrazano Narrows Bridge:



When we arrived at The statue of Liberty and Manhattan in NY Harbor There were several Loopers and tour boats circling and taking pictures. Fortunately, Bruce and Beverly Kness in Seascape,  a 2002 Mainship 390 took a few pictures of our boat with the Statue of Liberty in the background. We also were taking pictures of them since they have the identical boat to EASTNOR our 2001 Mainship 390, . How unusual to see an identical boat in that setting.

Manhattan, and Freedom Tower.
 
 
Here is a picture that I took from Liberty Landing on a previous trip in sunny weather:

Seaquest in NY Harbor. This is an identical boat to mine. As Capt. Bruce Kness said "It's like looking in the mirror!" Beverly Kness took the picture of EASTNOR above in front of Lady Liberty. They are from MN and started the Loop in Florida. Their boat was
docked at Doc Holidays in N. Myrtle Beach when purchased. They took it down to Florida to prepare and outfit the boat, and started from there.
 
The Kness's were traveling with Capt Tom and Colletta Kataras on Greek's Folly. They were taking pictures of each others boat in front of Liberty. They were among several tour boats who seemed to be comfortable with maneuvering around them.
We just happened to be at the right place at the right time to get our picture taken by Beverly.

We also took several other pictures along the way:
 
Sing Sing Prison in the distance
 
 
The Palisades
 
 
Sailboat on the Hudson
 

 
The Tappan Zee Bridge has been under construction for several years, and it looks like they are close to connecting the roadways.
