South Street Seaport....a bit of New York seafaring history and a great spot to for a meandering stroll. From our viewpoint, as we sail by, the contrast of old ships and new buildings offers an impressive sight.

Table with a view? As the lights come on in Lower Manhattan I regret not having packed my tripod for our sailing adventure. Time to take those "mental pictures"!

Passing Brooklyn Bridge

It seems ironic that one of the oldest modes of transportation (sailing) is still one of the most effecient. No traffic to speak of as we traverse the length of Manhattan passing under bridges and not over them.
Life is good!

The view from Liberty Landing Marina is impressive at all hours of the day. Convenient ferry service to Manhattan is from the marina's main dock. A very cool way to visit the City......
