Lady Liberty

The drive from West Chester PA to Jersey City NJ was, for the most part, uneventful.  A little nervewracking perhaps... but we arrived at Liberty Landing State Park launch ramp around noon.  Imagine our thrill as we ventured out into NY Harbor.

It was extremely "bumpy" out there thanks to the multiple ferries crossing from NYC to/from all the other islands and burroughs.  I tried to get some great shots of the Statue of Liberty, but most ended up blurry or, at best, crooked!  It was so exciting to be there on our own boat!

Never fear, Miss Liberty... Freedom the Cape(d) Cruiser is here!

After docking the boat we had to figure out how to get back to the state park launch ramp to retrieve the car and trailer... its about 3 miles away.  Our fun e-bikes were a blast to ride, along a lovely paved boardwalk overlooking the NYC skyline.  Fantastic!

The view at night from our boat!  The tall building is the new World Finance Center

That evening a high school friend of mine who settled in NJ met us for a fun dinner of Cuban food.  It was great catching up with her, meeting her grown daughter.  We still can complete each other's sentences even after 40 years separation.
