Anchorage Croton Point on the Hudson River, Havastraw Bay

Approaching the Throgsneck Bridge on the East River with the Whitestone Bridge in the background.


Plane taking off from LaGuardia airport and flying over the Whitestone Bridge



Approaching Hellgate where the East River and Harlem River meet.  Last time through currents were running against us but this time we were able to time it better--we had a swift ride!






Someone had a lot of imagination--this is very far from the Harlem River

More pictures along the Harlem River--Manhattan Island is on the right



Just emerged from the Harlem River on to the Hudson River just past the George Washington Bridge looking back on New York City

Trip to Lake Champlain Calf Island, Byram Harbor

40 59.851N
73 38.384W

We have been plagued with fog all spring and early summer and Fri was no different.  We attempted to leave Mumford Cove at 5:30 am and then tried around noon only to return to MC because it would have been a white knuckle ride all day.  There was a lot of chatter from boaters coming through Watch Hill Passage--visibility was not good.

 Sure hope he has it under control







Beautiful Greenwich, CT., home in our anchorage.
It was a much better ride today, not having to worry about fog!

Mumford Cove, Groton, CT

Shore Thing back home in her slip.  The triangle loop was a great experience, over 1,600 miles and 99 locks.  We really enjoyed the fresh water and Lake Champlain.   Sadly, Shore Thing has been pulled for the winter.

I think Army wants to beat Air Force!

Unfortunately, this picture does not do the scenery justice

Here is the pilot climbing up the ladder to the ship--really calm day

Did not pass too many ships in the Hudson but this one needed a pilot
