oops
i was mistaken about nyrius
as it will be hidden both by montauk point & darkness

but if you are interested
& if you do depart on time
& the afternoon is clear
& you do follow the main ship channel out of new york harbor
as shown by topozone
& you have not had too much champagne yet
but havent managed to get the captain to swing a little to port either
then you still ought to have njnyus in plain sight at an angle of about 11
oclock
less than a mile off your port bow
just as you pass directly in between rockaway point & sandy hook

but the most dramatic photo op may occur a few moments later when rockaway
point reaches about 5 oclock
for then njnyus will be directly between you & rockaway point
about a quarter of the way to it but still at close range to you
& thus more or less perfectly centered in frame if you put rockaway point
at mid horizon

but in every case bon voyage
