New York Harbor is a busy place!
Lots of big boats up close and personal. If you listen on channel 13 (bridge to bridge), you get an appreciation for how much commercial traffic there is. You will also hear professionals that are far more courteous than their recreational counterparts.
And then standing tall, surrounded by all the confusion, is the Lady.
Next to the Lady is Ellis Island, where the legal immigrants came to enter the country.
Tonight I'm anchored behind Ellis Island. A better spot than behind the Statute of Liberty with the forecast SW wind. It's pretty rolly now with all the boat wakes, but not bad after dark.
Across the water is the NYC skyline. Impressive near sunset and maybe more so when illuminated at night.
While I'm not much of a city fan, I encourage you, should you come this way, to spend a day at Ellis Island and visit the Statute of Liberty. The National Park Service has done an amazing job restoring Ellis Island with some 5,000 pictures of the place and people who passed through it.
