An incidental pleasure of this boat ride was seeing the four waterfalls erected by the Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson, with the first one stationed off of Governor's Island.
When I asked a number of New Yorkers how they felt about the waterfalls...
...their reaction tended to be, "Weren't they....disappointing?"
In truth, they had some serious competition with the walls of skyscrapers on the Manhattan shoreline...
...but I did like the one placed under the east side of the Brooklyn Bridge.
Just north of The Manhattan Bridge...
...the fourth waterfall made its lonely Manhattan appearance.
The condo building boom has extended to Long Island City...
...which looks across the river to the United Nations building...
...which is helping to make the world safe for luxury yachts like Utopia III.
