I was thinking it would be kinda cool to sail non stop from Jersey to New Jersey - stop for a few beers - and then sail back home. (Albeit I do appreciate that New Jersey was not actually "discovered" from here!)
I have done some Googling and New Jersey seems a big place and (without causing offence!) does seem to have a fair few towns that do not seem at first glance to be the most attractive of destinations. Especially as I won't be carrying any firearms. or buying any drugs. and will not want a crack ho'. probably 
Any suggestions as to pleasant towns / cities in New Jersey that I could also clear through immigration into ? (I haven't Googled the immigration regs yet - but I will do so, as am not keen on a one way trip to cuba!) |
Sorry, they don't exist!
See the following video link for a nice view of New Jersey as you come out of the Lincoln Tunnel from Manhattan. They seem to have edited out the Hatian ghetto, drug dealers, guns and crack ho's, but make no mistake... they are all right here.
The music makes it sound a lot cooler than it really is. If you like pollution and lung cancer and don't have time for a trip to China, this is the place to be!
Any other destination would be better... maybe Guantanamo Bay, Cuba?
May I suggest "New England" or possibly the British Virgin Islands instead if you are interested in places in North America that have some namesake from the UK?
ha ha ha
Seriously... the further South you go, the better off you are in Jersey (what we call New Jersey). I will be glad to get out of here in about a month... never to return.
