Day 300
Miles Traveled: 57
Total Miles Traveled: 4328
We were excited about our the days trip up the New York Harbor and seeing the Statue of Liberty while cruising by on our own boat. We left early so the wind did not have time to get New York Harbor stirred up. We had a very comfortable ride in the both the Lower and Upper Bays. Shortly after going under the Verrazano Narrows Bridge, the New York City skyline came into view. There was not as much boat traffic as we expected given it was a weekend.

The Staten Island ferry crossed in front of us just before we arrived at "Lady Liberty".

Soon the Statue of Liberty was in full view. What a site she was to see from the water. At that moment, we felt very proud to be an American. It felt like she was welcoming us to the city.

As we entered the Hudson River, we had New York City on our right and Jersey City on our left. The buildings were very impressive. We had explored New York City by land many years ago, but, it is a different viewpoint seeing it from the water.

Initially the Hudson River had skyscrapers, but, later the Palisades of the Hudson begin to line the banks.

We had a nice cruise up the Hudson River to Half Moon Bay Marina at Croton on Hudson, NY. We had several long and busy travel days and were glad to be tied up at a dock for some much needed rest and relaxation.
