Our
destination today is Half Moon Bay marina about 25 miles up the Hudson
just north of the Tappan Zee bridge. We passed under the George
Washington Bridge which means we could call Boat US and change our
insurance coverage back to inland waterways - no more salt water!
It is sure fun to have friends
from home on board for a week! We are training Rich in as “the
captain”! It was a beautiful day so Judi caught a little cat nap in the
sun!
We arrived at Half Moon Bay and took a walk through the town of Croton before dinner on the boat and a beautiful sunset!
Sunday was a longer travel day as we
were headed for Kingston, NY, 57 miles up the Hudson. The current is
strong so we all kept a close watch for debris in the water. Feels like
we are back on the Mississippi!!
The ships
are getting bigger again too! Ken radioed this one to ask which side of
the channel he would like us on. He told Ken he was going to be in the
middle of channel and we should just “stay out of his way!” Good idea I
would say!
We are docked at the Kingston City Marina and despite the threat of rain decided to go for a walk through the historic town of Kingston. The town is full of beautiful historic homes!
As we were headed back to the boat we were greeted by a rainbow! I am sure the “pot of gold” is there somewhere!!!!
Dinner was outside at an Italian restaurant called Savano! Great friends, great food, great wine! What a GREAT day!!!
Tomorrow, Monday, we will head to the
CIA(Culinary Institute of America) for lunch and tour the Roosevelt and
Vanderbilt Mansions! Come on along!
