Do we stay or do we go... After looking at the charts, and listening to the weather I made a sausgage and eggs breakfast and we decided that we could move down the river a bit more (~11 miles) and knock off some miles the following day. It looks like we'll be going against the currents and tides. We anchored up Esopus Creek around 3:30pm on the western side of the Hudson River. There's a shallow sandbar on the southern part coming in, but past that there's a small cove on the south side between a fuel dock (Getty's) and Lynch's marina. Three power boats were jockeying for position where we were trying to anchor and they ended up rafting together for their Sunday swim and dinner 12 feet from us. We figured they weren't staying long because they had kids enjoying the water (school tomorrow). It turned into a beautiful evening. We saw a car drive by us in the water and the cutest little day sailor came by with more shear than most of the modern boats (guess I'm a traditionalist). It's quite warm and muggy but this is a beautiful, peaceful little hamlet here. Anchored: N42o 72.659 x W73o51.408
