July 10
Early rise this morning so we can head out of NYC before all the ferry traffic starts. We left Liberty Landing Marina around 630am. It was a beautiful sunrise and it was pretty cool to leave NYC while it was quietly getting up . The Hudson River runs along Manhattan and the upper west side. We saw a cruise ship arriving as we headed off on our journey north along the Hudson River.
About 2 hours up river we stopped in Ossining for fuel. This is where the Sing Song prison is located.
There are constant bridges crossing over the Hudson. Noah was keeping a tally and lost interest around 20.
We cruised the river at 15 knots. Along the way we passed West Point and Cassandra College. It was a sunny hot day. We arrived in Kingston NY around 1230. We booked a slip at the Rondout marina which has a pool. Woohoo
Noah and I gave the boat a good washing. We are a good boat washing team and then we hit the pool.
Sterling got the dinghy and engine ready and then late afternoon we rode over to the main part of town. We visited the Hudson River Maritime Museum and went to an Italian restaurant for dinner.
Back at the marina Noah played on the play structure before bed.
