Another day on the Hudson



Another day on the Hudson River. The nights are turning colder. But the trees are still green compared to the color when we left. We decided to spend a couple of days in Haverstraw to relax and let this cold front get out of the area. West Point was overcast when we went by. They were playing a football game, so we thought we would go a little closer to shore. Then we heard the cannon shot. We figured they scored a touchdown or we were too close. So we continued south at our usual pace of 7 knots.
We love the lighthouses on the Hudson. Although unmanned and old, they are all in surprisingly good shape. It's a testament to the craftsmanship and care that was involved in their construction so many decades ago. It also reminds us of the lighthouse at our home marina.
Daisy May is enjoying the trip and has discovered that the couch on the fly bridge suits her fine when when we are cruising. I discovered that we also have Bun along for the trip. I noticed Bun showing up in a lot of pictures, so we sat on then back deck this morning and had coffee.
Tomorrow will be our last day in New York. We should enjoy a nice trip through the city, then on to N.J.
