More From New York

We spent last Saturday morning at Ellis Island with Troy, Sara and the kids. And the following Monday night, we anchored out next to the the island which is about 500 yards from the Statue of Liberty. Lisa and Jack were on the boat that night and it rocked a lot from the wakes of the passing ferries and other boats.

A waterfall underneath the Brooklyn Bridge. Maybe you've read about it recently. There are four around the Manhattan Island and Brooklyn area. My understanding is they are all solar powered.

Here we are with the Statue of Liberty in the background. So thankful to be in America. With all it's faults, it's still the greatest nation on earth.

Here's Marlene in NYC - Times Square area. She's been a great first mate on this trip. I just promoted her to Admiral. And yes, it is possible to live happily together on a 42 foot boat - but she has her space (aft cabin) and I have mine (engine room).
