Independence Day

 We left Sandy Hook and sailed through the Narrows and 
swung by the Statue of Liberty
She's in the background behind Noelle



After passing by Manhattan we went through Hell Gate.
A narrows with 5.5 knots of current.
Used to be a dangerous passage until the blasted an islet out of the center

We made several stops on Long Island.  The last at 
Fort Pond Bay near the tip.  You can see the Atlantic on 
the other side


Then we sailed past Block Island and up the river past Newport on our 
way to Bristol, Rhode Island


We visited with a good friend in Bristol who took us over to see the 
oldest Fourth of July Parade in the country.
