Cruising up the Hudson River

17 July 2009 | Hudson River
The DeFords
We left homeport on July 15 to Greenwich. Anchorage had planes, trains and a fleet of 50 or more Wednesday night racers which skimmed on either side of "Sunset." Left the next morning to cruise one of our favorite rivers - East River - then up the Hudson River, our first time. We saw the new home of "The Concord," which had passed us in New York Harbor on a barge in October 2008.

The wind creased, the water temp was 77 degrees, the air temp was 94 degrees and the humidity over the top. We pulled into
Tarrytown Marina just north of the Tappan Zee Bridge and grilled dinner in a gazebo overlooking the Hudson River and a sunset.

We've washed "Sunset" and taken showers and are headed for an anchorage in Haverstraw, NY to continue our adventure of new places, new friends and the challenge of very little water on the shores of the Hudson.
