The radar really looked threatening and rain was in the forecast for today....started later than we thought, but around 8:15, it really poured. Mark made pancakes and bacon and we just hunkered down till the rain let up. We pulled up the anchor around 10 - still a light misty rain and watching all the folks with umbrellas waiting in line to go to top of Lady Liberty. What a difference from yesterday when everything was clear as a bell - today, foggy and 1/2 mile visibility!
The lady is shrouded in fog
One of many ferry boats constantly taking people from Battery Park to Liberty Landing
The Captain of my ship cruising past the financial district - can't see top of Freedom Tower
But the rain eventually stopped and it was a pleasant 40-mile ride up the Hudson to Half Moon Bay Marina in Croton-on-Hudson, New York.
We settled Catrina in to rinse the last of the salt off (rain did a good job, too), had lunch and then ready to take off and see this little village before more rain comes.
We walked about a mile to find the post office and ice cream! We'll definitely come back here - Gifford's ice cream (never heard of it) - delish.....donuts made to order, bagels, deli, all kinds of coffee! It's called "Bagels on Hudson"
It is so steamy, sultry and sticky out! Hopefully, the next batch of rain will help!
We plan to stay here 3 nights, rent a car tomorrow till Monday and get out and see this beautiful area. We are nestled in a valley with hills full of trees and mountains in the distance. Not a good day for pictures as it's really hazy, but next 3 days, the sunshine is back!
Rainy night here....
