Hello from New York City, as Jason reminds me The Greatest City in the World! We sailed in this crisp clear morning to New York Harbor greeted by Lady Liberty and all of the spectacular views of the Gotham sky line. There is so much human history here. Taken from the Dutch by the English in in1664 this metropolis is a combination of its five boroughs. Today we visited the smallest one, the island of Manhattan. Check the "Explorers Club" for lunch. This grand structure is a testament to the spirit of exploration from recorded history to space travel! Then a tour of the city and on to the Lindblad corporate head quarters and a roof top meeting with Sven-Olaf Lindblad who shared his vision of exploration made accessible to the common person as well as greater environmental concerns globally. Tomorrow we spend a full day at sea and have ample opportunities for research and naturalist presentations. One never knows what will yield itself in the deep ocean...I look forward to a Southern route that brings me closer to my home and possibly the second greatest city in the world Charleston SC! be well ...miss you all
Capt. Chris
