| View on the Hudson |
We left NYC to head up the Hudson River at 9:20 a.m. It was a sticky, humid morning and we were glad to be on the water. The surroundings are very different from the ocean views we've become accustomed to. The water was perfectly flat, so it was very comfortable. We had planned to stop earlier, but it was so hot, we figured it would be better to stay on the water rather than being stuck in the cabin to avoid the heat. We arrived at Hyde Park Marina in Poughkeepsie at

4:55 p.m. There was almost no wind and the temperature was 95 degrees. The marina is pretty rough around the edges. The cruising guide said there was a restaurant nearby, but that must have been along time ago. This area was hit pretty hard by Irene last year and a number of marinas haven't reopened or will never open again. We got a cab to the Culinary Institute located a couple of miles away for a great meal. One more day before we begin going through the 12 locks necessary to get into Lake Champlain
