After a peaceful evening at anchor we began the trip up the Hudson by following the cruise ship, "Norwegian Dawn" as she returned to her berth. The scenery changed dramatically along the way from skyscrapers to more open waters after the Tappan Zee Bridge. In Haverstraw Bay we encountered a number of sailboats and even a few antique sailing vessels who were in the area to celebrate the 400th Anniversary of Henry Hudson's original voyage. The scenery along the way was lovely as we passed many lighthouses, mansions, the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, and much lush foliage along the shoreline. We arrived at Kingston, the first capital of New York, at 4:40 p.m. after a trip of 82 miles.
