After leaving Cape May we had scheduled another stop in New Jersey but with calm seas running on the outside we decided to just push on & enjoy an extra evening in New York City. It was amazing cruising into the city, passing the Statue Of Liberty & seeing the NY skyline from the harbor. We docked at the 79th Street Yacht Basin, a great location to enjoy the Upper West Side. We shared an evening with 2 old friends, Robert & Brandon for a great dinner & a night out on the town. We had fun shopping, walking D&D in Central Park & catching up on the sights & magic of the city. Our last evening we endured gale force winds on the Hudson & hosted a cocktail party (the show must go on) on board with old NYC friends, Gray, Brian, Pat, David, Wiggy & Cole as well as family,Diane, Rick, Rady, Catherine, and Bridgette. And now we work our way up the Hudson. . . .
