Sunday, August 17 - Day 8 - We leave NY-NJ and head north up the Hudson River

After waiting for some morning fog and rain showers to clear, we leave Jersey City we head on up the Hudson River, going under the George Washington Bridge and Tappan Zee Bridges.

FAREWELL TO THE BIG APPLE AND HELLO HUDSON RIVER VALLEY:

Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island 

Up the Hudson we go leaving NY and NJ behind

The Little Red Lighthouse at base of George Washington Bridge

NORTH TO CROTON-ON-HUDSON

  We end up in a Croton-on-Hudson marina after some horrendous winds come out of nowhere making docking a challenge, despite a breakwater from the waves.  Blue Moon Marina is welcoming and there is a nearby village in walking distance.  Unfortunately my feet swelled up badly from so many hours standing in order to see out front.  As a result I don't feel like walking into the nearby town, wishing to keep off the feet.  The wind rocks the boat for hours at the dock.  We dine in despite the options ashore.
