Kicking back, enjoying the view & fall colors
 

In Groton, CN Hector visits the first nuclear powered boat, SSN 571 - The Nautilus
 

In NYC, there is "Hector's boat" - SSG 577 - The Growler, right next to us in the next pier
 

As we pull back from our pier (left center) we may view the NYC skyline - (Empire State Building to the right)

The NYC Air, ship, space museum which now includes one of the Concorde's - (sitting on the barge center-left)
 

As we go down the Hudson River, we may view both the Chrysler Building (left) and the Empire State Building (right)
 

Looking through Manhattan - from the Hudson to the East River through the skyscraper canyon
 

On a barge out into the Hudson, a golf driving range
 

This takes me back to the late '30's - when I used to ride on the Circle Line around Manhattan - it's still operating
 

Where many of our ancestors arrived on these shores - Ellis Island
 

 

The Statue of Liberty, as we pass by just after sun set.
