Our Viking Route to the US officially ended at 2300 hours on Tuesday 22 September 2009 when we picked up a mooring in front of the New York Yacht Club, Newport, Rhode Island.It took 14 more hours, at least three of which were spent trying to find the right person to notify, to clear US Customs and Border Patrol.
The picture is of Maryam's crew in front of the NYYC Harbor Court facility in Newport shortly after clearing customs and being able to come ashore for the first time.

And what a crew it is!
