Today is the big day. We are supposed to dock at New York Harbor tonite at about 7:30. All afternoon we were out on deck straining our eyes looking for land, of any sort, but so far no go. Did a little packing. I think I will wear my dirty khakis until we leave Camp Upton. OK? OK! Swiss steak for chow tonight! It is now 7:30 p.m. We are sitting in New York Harbor - the end of a long voyage. And, boy, does it look good. Yeh, man. Plenty of lights and millions of cars all over the place. What a great place to come home to and stay in. Came up Hudson River passing Staten Island, Battery Park, Aquarium, 42nd Street, and docked at 50th Street, site of the former Normandie. Time 10:00 p.m. Civilization! Yippee!

The End.
