PROBLEMS WITH OUR INTERNET CONNECTION>>>PICTURES TAKE TOO LONG TO UPLOAD. We'll add them later......Ned
Monday morning we left Atlantic City early and headed for NY. Although we went outside in the Atlantic, the seas were calm –almost like a lake – and it was a very pleasant ride. Once we arrived at the Battery in New York Harbor, the current picked up and of course there was lots of traffic with big ships, ferries and pleasure boats going in every direction. It was a thrill passing right by the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. Ned did a masterful job of guiding AWEIGH through all of this and right into Liberty Landing, the marina where we were staying which incidentally was right across from Manhattan in New Jersey.
After washing down the boat, we cleaned up and took the ferry across to Manhattan. We did a little shopping and lots and lots of walking. We saw the world Trade Center site which we had seen four years ago. After a stop in the late afternoon for a quick drink and a chance to rest our legs, we gathered our courage and decided to head uptown, ….via the subway during rush hour. Wow..the crowds of people. At Times Square, we tried, but to no avail to get tickets to see JERSEY BOYS or any other show. Unfortunately, Monday night was a down night for most shows.
We caught the last Liberty Landing ferry back at 8pm but got off at Jersey City and had a good dinner at a nice little Italian restaurant that had been recommended. We got back to the boat via taxi and we were very tired but it had been a fun day.
