Long Island Circumnavigation Pictures Part II



No shore in sight


Pounding away in the swells




The Prison Ship 



Deb gets to shoot Hell Gate 




 



Hell Gate at slack tide 

 

 

 





 

 

 






The New Colossus
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
Emma Lazarus, 1883 




Ships anchored in New York Harbor waiting for customs clearance



Staten Island Ferry






Barnaget Bay Sunday afternoon races






The last bridge before the return to Nelson Sailing Center
