Paddled over to Newport Marina. What a difference from Liberty Harbor! It's a dollar a foot more on a weekly basis, but it's well worth the extra $39. This is a first-class marina in a good neighbor-
hood. The subway to Manhattan is next door, and there's a big shopping plaza across the street. We arranged to bring the boat in this afternoon. Then we spent the rest of the morning paddling. Paddled around Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty.
At one o'clock, we brought the boat to Newport Marina. The dockmaster helped us tie up, which made it very easy. After we were settled, we ate lunch and then took refreshing showers.
Walked around the neighborhood. There are all kinds of stores nearby. Bought a few groceries and then went to Sears and bought some water filters. After supper, we strolled around some more in the cool of evening. Tomorrow, we'll go to Manhattan.
