Today was smooth as glass...unbelievable when compared to the roughness of yesterday. A truly delightful day at sea...not too hot, not too cold...a calm day with the auto pilot..At least until we reached the harbor...NYC is a busy busy place...and boats everywhere, going in all directions. Those water taxis are large and in charge...add to that the Red Bull Airshow is going on around the Statue of Liberty. What a sight!!!! We also battled with the marina...long story but the basic plot includes that they had us booked into the RV park...after all day phone calls back and forth and a two hour conference at the marina office, we are docked, cleaned and drinking. We are here for eight days...Liberty Harbor Marina, on the Jersey side....on tap are Lion King, Phantom of the Opera, Macy's, Chinatown purse shopping (a la Laurie Fischer), Empire State Building, Central Park, Times Square and Ellis Island. Think we can squeeze all that in???? All I know is no worries about weather, skinny water, tides, or boat mechanics for a while. Woot Woot!!!
