We’ve officially arrived in Maine. By a few hundred feet.
The Isles of Shoals are an oddity. Half in Maine and half in New Hampshire. Small calm harbor protected from the seas. We found a free mooring ball.

We spent the day in downtown Manhattan yesterday! Then back home to New Destiny for the night.

The great thing about anchoring in Atlantic Highlands NJ is it’s free, you can see the New York skyline, plus you can still visit NYC via high speed ferry in about 45 minutes! Otherwise you’ll pay $300-500 a night at marinas in New York harbor. Or anchor below the Statue of Liberty in constantly rolling waters and nowhere to land a dinghy in Manhattan.

We made it! Well, almost. We’re anchored at Sandy Point NJ, just inside the entrance to the entire NYC harbor operations. Just a couple hours motoring to Statue of Liberty 🗽🇺🇸

The retired couple tell BBC Newsnight they tried to show the warship they had changed course in the English Channel before the shots were fired.
