This may have been the best trip I have had down the Hudson River. What a difference between early spring and late fall. It was truly beautiful and the conditions were perfect. Again, it was a little cool to start the day, but pure sunshine and moderate temperatures made for just a spectacular day coming down the Hudson River.
We covered over 155 miles today from Waterford to Jersey City, NJ. We are staying at Liberty Landing Marina tonight with a fantastic view of the City. We would have traveled further down the NJ coast today, but the seas off-shore were not good. So we stopped for the day and are expecting better sea conditions tomorrow.
Steve and I have made some reservations for dinner and are just getting caught up on email and odds and ends. We are expecting a bit of a bumpy ride tomorrow, but given how well the weather has been so far, we are not complaining.
Here are some pictures from today.
