Sunshine meets Lady Liberty!


Our boat Sunshine in front of the Statue of Liberty

We made it to New York City! Every Great Looper dreams of taking that photo of their vessel in front of the Statue of Liberty. We’ve seen so many on the Facebook blog. We were so blessed to have the Wrights aboard The Wright Choice agree to take our photos, and we reciprocated for them. How awesome that cell phone technology allows us to take great photos and text them to others. It was a tad bit difficult, standing on the bow in the rocking water. And we almost hit two ferry boats and a police boat. Captain Pat was lamenting about the inefficient use of fuel, as we were going fast to keep up with The Wright Choice. But – we did it!

Seeing New York City from the water is unbelievable. And being right up front with the Statue of Liberty was amazing. We can’t begin to put into words how inspirational it was to see her that close. We anchored out that evening near her and the city lights made her even more beautiful. What a day, and what a night.

Happy July 4, everyone!

Loving this!
