After three days on Staten Island we headed for central New York and anchored just north of Ellis Island by the Liberty Statue.
To drive Dora Mac into Manhattan and up by the Liberty Statue was indeed impressive. Apart from some swell from all passing ferries and passenger boats the anchorage was great.
To have a sundowner and wake up in front of Manhattan is a bit surrealistic.
Going to the Metropolitan Museum was our only disappointment in New York. The queue outside was one hour in pooring rain and inside was far to crowded for a good experience.
