Colonel's Lady departing NYC area back on the loop after a week of shows  and 
exploring the city.  What a fabulous place to visit.  We  stayed at the 
Newport Marina, due east of pier 40, NYC.  Subway (PATH) stop  one block away takes 
you to 33d Street or World Trade Center stops of the  NYC Subway system for 
$1.50 on a 20 minute ride.  Ten restaurants in the  high rises surrounding the 
marina.  Somecite this as to roily to use and we  found it not at all 
bothersome.  A bit expensive at $2.40 a foot + $6 a  night for electricity but cheaper 
than a hotel room we found out.  New wake  fence has been installed.  As we 
departed due east towards Manhattan we  noticed just south of pier 40 a rather 
extensive anchoring area for  cruisers.  About twenty boats at anchor and room 
for another 15 or  so.  Have no idea of dinghy access or depth.  Looked at 
79th street  marina and anchorage and walk to get to the subway would hot have 
suited us  I don't think with the up hill climb.
 
Glad to be back on the loop again.
