We experienced a lot of memorable moments while cruising the Great Loop boat trip. One of the most thrilling was when we entered New York City’s Harbor and saw the Statue of Liberty, we were humbled and extremely subdued as we took in the grandeur of its symbolism. Anchoring behind the Statue of Liberty and watching the unfolding of darkness against the glow of lady liberty’s torch was a life enhancing event.
