It seems that the high centered over the Bahamas has started to move. Unlike prior days, we woke up to sunshine and all the makings of a very pleasant day. A short run took us to the Point Pleasant Canal, a two mile long canal connecting Bay Head with the Manasquan River. Many beautiful homes and estates were seen. We passed Brielle, a town named after the birthplace of my father. Here we stopped seven years ago for our overnight dockage. As we approached the ocean inlet, we saw very large waves rolling in and we were not sure if we should continue. However after passing the inlet and turning north, things did quiet down.
During the four hour trip to New York, the weather had turned from sunny to foggy and then to rain. After about three hours we would see the Verrazano Narrows Bridge. Soon afterwards we could see the outline of the Statue of Liberty and the lower end of Manhattan with the new tower that is being built where the twin towers of the World Trade Center once stood. Tomorrow we will celebrate freedom and our liberty.
After passing Ellis Island, we cruised up river to Lincoln Harbor Yacht Club where we will be docked for three nights.
