Day #37: Half Moon Bay, NY


The Hudson has some really wide spots.  In a blow it would get interesting.  We're lucky to have had nothing but settled weather.


It's mandatory while cruising past West Point to take a picture.  As an Air Force guy I object to the tradition but, nevertheless, complied.   The picture came out poorly.  So, for your viewing pleasure, here's a picture from the Academy's web site.  If it had been a sunny day I'm sure my picture would have been better ;-)


As expected marina rates are climbing.  In the last three days we paid $1.50/ft, $2.00/ft, and tonight $2.65/ft.  Who needs a nav chart, we must be getting closer to NYC.


Today we picked up the pace as we're running short of money,   Did I mention how expensive the marinas are getting?  It was 39 miles between Poughkeepsie and Half Moon Bay, NY.  We're 798 miles into 2019 and 9034 miles from Naples.  DBH
