CO's comments: This is the first time ever that we have had a dock master walk away from our boat before we were completely tie up and shown where the electric was. The XO had to call him back. He was not pleased and still didn't tell us where the electric was before he left again.

Wednesday, Manasquan Inlet-Clark's Marina, to Liberty Landing Marina, Jersey City, NJ: We were up early and at the gas dock waiting for it to open at 08:00. We had a fixed bridge and a RR bridge and lots of strong current. We went through Manasquan Inlet and out into the Atlantic. It was a beautiful sunny day about 85 degrees. We had 2 to 4 foot swells with about 7 to 8 seconds between each swell. Couldn't ask for much better. It was exciting to get into New York Harbor and take in the sights on the way in. We got to our marina and Keith washed the very dirty boat and I washed a weeks worth of clothes. This marina is so much nicer than last night. We can see the Statue of Liberty from our porch.
CO's comments: New York Harbor is very rough. No body seems to obey the rules of the waterway. The real bright side to coming into New York Harbor is was we saw the Iwo Jima and her escorts as they were about to leave.
