A short ride to Tarrytown….we left just before noon. I am still surprised at how rocky the harbor is. Ferries shooting from one side to the other of the river, tour boats shooting either towards the Statue of Liberty or away from her. One lady we met from the marina said that she thinks if you can learn to sail in New York Harbor, you can sail just about anywhere. I think that I agree with her.

Once you get beyond Manhattan the river calms down considerably. The buildings become shorter, the landscape greener. We come to the Adirondack Mountains and now have New York on both sides of us. Good bye New Jersey.

We are staying at the Tarrytown Marina. They are a member of the recpricol clubs, but Kelley had to talk the dockmaster into accpeting us as a recpriacol club. All he had to do was go to the website and check. He said that none of their members would go to California and Kelley asked why not and pointing out that we were here. He gave us free night. The cost here is $3 a foot and there isn’t any electricity! It appears that Tarrytown is the spot that many people take the train into the city so it is a popular place for people for the weekend.

The town is darling! There were many restaurants, antique stores and “Flying Fingers” a yarn shop. But, there was Chinese and we chose take out!
