Croton-0n- the Hudson, 5-13-11

We made it from Norfolk to New York City in two days.  The winds started out of the North West and ended up out of the South.  When they shifted to South it became much warmer.  That was a good weather window for us, since for several days after that the wind was predicted out of the North. 
We spent two days in Lincoln Harbor Marina in Weehawkin, NJ. Erin and I spent one day in NYC.  The next day we stopped in Tarrytown, NY.  Erin and I took the train into NYC and went to a Broadway Play,"Mary Poppins".  We spent 4 days in Tarrytown, since the Erie Canal was forecast to be closed until May 23rd.  We also went to a comedy club act in Tarrytown.  Today we are in Croton -on-the-Hudson. We plan to take the train again to NYC and see another play.  Mike's back and foot are bothering him when he walks too much so he has been holding down the fort at the boat. 

                        It was cold with a North West wind. Erin in warm clothes.

                       I hope the fate of this boat has no bearing on its name.
