Fabulous Yacht Tour of Lower Manhattan

On May 2, NCJW BCS members experienced the sights of Lower Manhattan as forty-seven of us sailed on a luxurious yacht.  From our comfortable berths, we viewed the New York and New Jersey shorelines and heard about the amazing sights and architecture of this iconic area. Toasting Lady Liberty with champagne, we glided past the statue and nearby Ellis Island. Back on land the group enjoyed the view from the High Line, strolled around Chelsea market, grazed in local restaurants, ate ice-cream and visited some of Chelsea’s art galleries. It was a great day, and even the weather cooperated.
