We'll see. Unfortunately, this is starting to sound more complicated (and expensive) than I would have liked. Personally, I wish that NY Waterway and/or Seastreak would just expand their Sandy Hook service to include weekdays during the summer, or at least Fridays (which is when I'm thinking about going). Maybe if enough people want it and make that fact known to these two companies, they'd consider it. You never know.
: Yea, you're right, SHBM is the least frequent stop, but any of the Highlands stops are within a few miles. I don't know anything about cabs, and actually, I don't know much about the ferries themselves, since I prefer to take the train. Their website does have a comunication form - perhaps they can email back if cabs are available. If you do work this out, be sure to post your experience and the costs to get there!

: : Hi Brooklyn. Thanks for the info. The only problem is that I don't own a bike, and I rather not rent one for that purpose. I didn't know that Seastreak had a ferry that goes to Highlands on weekdays, though. Are there any cabs that hang out around the ferry stop? If so, that would be a possibility. Also, I'm looking at the Seastreak website, and the page which lists the schedule for the Highlands route (http://www.seastreak.com/SeaStreak/FaresandSchedules/Manhattandeparturesweekday.htm) seems to indicate that most of the ferries don't even stop at the SHBM/Highlands stop. Am I just missing something here? Thanks again.
