NYC to Half Moon Bay Marina

After eleven great days visiting New York City, first by ourselves, then with my cousin Cindy and her husband Mark, and then with Sara's daughter Erin and her children John, Ben and Katie, we pulled out of Liberty Landing for a short trip up the Hudson River to Half Moon Bay Marina. I wonder, do we still know how to drive the boat after so many days off?????? :-)

It was a cloudy, rainy day as we approached the George Washington bridge in the misty haze. This was one of the rally points we used to coordinate our presidential trips into New York with President Reagan. Depending on the number of aircraft involved in a particular lift, we would either circle the George Washington bridge or the Statue of Liberty waiting for the other aircraft to land and off load their passengers before Marine One would land at one of the downtown heliports.

Though difficult to see, this is a picture of the high cliffs along the Hudson River north of New York City. The Hudson River, at this point, is a true fjord. Similar to the fjords of Norway. It is the only true fjord in the entire United States.
