Heading Up the Hudson

Enough talk, this time I am just posting pictures -- okay with a few comments.

The trip up the Hudson was great -- blue skies and sunshine for the trip past Manhattan on the right and Jersey on the left. Clouds and rain followed, but we got a good feel for what Henry Hudson experienced as he steered the Half Moon up river in search of a route to the Orient (other than the disappointment he felt when they realized the river ended and they had to turn around)

The Cap'n in charge!


Our favorite daughter named Monica (l) and her beautiful (r) friend Courtney.
And a bow full of fenders....

Three lovely ladies

Jersey City Waterfront

Crazy Kayakers

Love that building -- each cascading floor has a terrace. Sweet!

Jersey on the left, NY on the right

The Concorde, a cruise ship and the stealth French War ship I referenced in my last post.
There is always a lot going on in NY!
The city gives way to high cliffs and rock slides

New Tappan Zee bridge construction. Somehow we managed to miss the 139 unmarked
submerged objects

Sunset at Half Moon Bay Marina. 

Nuclear Power Plant. We sold our Jarvis Newman lobster hull just 2 months before 9/11. The new owner volunteered it to patrol these waters in defense of our country. Made us proud -- then and now.
