The sun does not shine in paradise every day. When we entered Sandy Hook, NY it was cloudy, foggy and raining. Therefore we did not get the best view of the city that we could have had. The Statue of Liberty and the buildings were pretty much fogged in. We spent the night at Liberty Marina which is just up river from the Statue of Liberty. This morning we tackled New York Harbor again. Us and 5,000 ferry boats taking people to work in the city. It was a mad house starting up the Hudson River. To make matters worst we had a outflowing tide which only allowed us to travel at approximately 4 to 5 knots. HOWEVER the Pelican did her thing and held her course through the ordeal. We traveled over the spot where the plane landed in the Hudson. It was touching to think about a plane floating in the Hudson eactly where we were. Finally we got out of the city and were able to view some of the most beautiful country I've ever seen. The Palisades (on the left shore of the Hudson) were beautiful. As we continued North we began seeing mountains and boated right through the middle of them. WOW, WOW, WOW.

We passed West Point and then went through Worlds End, which is the deepest part of the Hudson River. I've enclosed a picture of the depth sounder reading. Just a little different than what we have in the Trent River. Tonight we are at the Newburgh Yacht Club and plan to visit Kingston Tuesday.
