We were going to wait for the slack water after high tide to leave through the Manasquan inlet. This would have meant waiting till 1:20 in the afternoon.
We woke and heard several boats on the radio going out. The weather looked good so we pulled anchor and headed out. It was a good decision. The inlet was an easy out and we were traveling up the coast by 7:30 am. We arrived in New York harbor around noon and dodged the ferry traffic that keeps the river stirred up. It was interesting seeing the city from the water and there were lots of people visiting the Statue of Liberty. The ferry traffic slacked off past Mid-town and it became a very pleasant sight seeing trip up the Hudson. The Hudson River Valley is very beautiful! We stopped in Haverstraw and anchored in a nice cove with good protection for the night.
Glimmer Glass bridge from the anchorage at Manasquan. It takes awhile for it to get raised high enough to fit under.
