What a beautiful, clear morning!  Only 19 miles to go to cross our wake and fly the gold, AGLCA Looper flag.  We arrived at the Statue of Liberty at 9:20 am and officially marked the crossing of our wake.  We tried to get a picture of the two of us in front of the Statue of Liberty.  Unfortunately, there was no one to steer the boat and the boat would not cooperate, so we will have to be happy with a sliver of the Manhattan skyline in the background!!

The gold flag indicates that we have completed the Loop!

After we left the hustle and bustle of the downtown New York waterways, we went down to the bow of the boat and replaced the white Looper flag with the new gold Looper flag.

As we traveled along the East River towards Hells Gate, we enjoyed a 4.6 mph push by the strong current

 As we continue into Long Island Sound, the New York skyline fades into the distance.

Tonight we are staying in Glen Cove, NY.  Tomorrow we will head to Branford, CT then on Friday we will continue onto our homeport of Mystic, CT.  If you ever get the chance to visit Mystic, CT please be sure to look us up at Brewers Yacht Yard!!
