I, my sis, dad, and a bunch of cousins, aunts & uncles walked down to under the GW Bridge Manhattan side by the Little Red Lighthouse.

We saw all these cool, Tall Ships!
Different built details, and some different sails. They sailed a bit north of the bridge, then turned around and went back down.
It was *Wonderful*!
