The cool temps got me motivated to move, and move I did, getting underway at 7. Anchored at Haverstraw Bay a couple of minutes past 6. I will say it again, the Hudson is spectacular. It is like the proverbial unrolling of a tapestry, and you are just taking it all in. I kept thinking about the Hudson River school of painting, and I understand. The trees have a certain lushness and attitude, that I don't see elsewhere. The varied terrain, rocky outcrops here, sand and marsh elsewhere. The color of water, cloud, and sky. And then then the man made elements. Those run the gamut. From towering industrial structures to exquisite country estates. The most beautiful Victorian lighthouses I have seen. What a day!
