The building under the Verrazano Bridge is Battery Weed, an artillery emplacement built prior to the Civil War and is located on Ft Wadsworth. Enjoying your videos.
Thank you so much, both for watching and for the great information. Battery Weed looks like an awesome place to explore. I hope we can get back there to spend some time instead of just passing by again. We appreciate you helping us out. Onward! www.nps.gov/places/000/battery-weed.htm
That must have been a very hard decision to give up the view before actually seeing it… but… seasick is no joke. Been there, done that. Have you guys ever gotten land sick? It’s when you’ve been on the boat for long enough to equalize, and then solid land feels off. That’s a strange experience you don’t see coming. Lol
Yes, I had an issue that was bad but lessened until gone over a 6-month period of time. That happened years ago when we started boating and were on the boat for almost 2-weeks straight due to storms in the Gulf. I had something called, mal-disembarkment. It was awful vertigo! For a while, I feared we might have to give up boating! Thankfully, it went away and I've not had any more trouble with it. Then there is also the feeling of still being underway when on land. I believe that is common for people who spend a lot of time on the water.
We were there in mid-June 2024. It was wonderful to anchor near the statue and NYC looked pretty spectacular from the water. The first anchorage right behind the statue was too rocky during the day so we moved to the more protected one, but then we missed the full view of the city at night. We suspect that the water calmed down a lot when night fell and there was less boat traffic. We hope you have fun in NYC.
Great scenery.
It was pretty spectacular. We'll show the trip up the Hudson River on the west side of Manhattan in another video. Coming Soon!

@@vw7616 yes! You must have really had an issue. The longest I ever had land sickness was a few hours. So glad your situation was overcome.
The building you asked about looks like Fort Wadsworth
Thank you for the help. Onward!
Where is the footage from the live stream when you are clearly visible in front of the statue? That was fun to watch. Maybe no one got that recorded?
We have that! It wasn't posted because it was a bit grainy, but maybe I'll put it in the next video. 🙂
@@vw7616 yay!
We put that grainy video in the episode we just released this week, number 37. It is fun to watch. We look so tiny! 😂
@@CruisingOnward you are tiny… in the scheme of things. 😎
How old is this? We are headed for NYC this week, maybe go through on the 4th
