Garbage Line Coming into New York Harbour
Busy Harbour

Statue of Liberty
Manasquan, New Jersey to New York, New York - Another hot day with a heat haze. We caught the 7.00 a.m. bridge out of Glimmer Glass Lake. The bascule bridge is defiantly not state of the art. It is slow to open and does not open fully. The bridge tenders were great. Another great travel day as the ocean is calm. One thing I can say about the New Jersey coast line is beaches. They have beaches from one end of the state to the other. We arrived in New York before noon. The harbour is very busy with boat, ships, tugs and barges in every direction. It was very impressive to arrive here with the Statue of Liberty overlooking the area. We anchored behind the statue of Liberty at Liberty State Park. It was a great anchorage with not to much boat traffic or current.
