Croton-on-Hudson, NY to Kingston, NY

Miles Traveled 58.8
Total Miles Traveled 4499
Day 266

What a difference 50 miles makes, the scenery on our cruise up the Hudson River today was awesome.








The view of West Point from the Hudson River.



The view of the Culinary Institute of America from the Hudson River.



Bannerman’s Castle is an abandoned military surplus warehouse, located on Pollopel Island, about 50 miles north of New York City.  Some say the name of the island comes from a folk tale about a girl named Polly Pell having been stranded on the island.


Esopus Meadows Lighthouse stands on the west side of the Hudson River channel, on a granite foundation.  The current lighthouse was completed in 1871 and is the last wooden lighthouse in existence on the Hudson, and the only Hudson lighthouse with a clapboard exterior.


Nice house......
if you look close, on the left of the picture, you can see a nice bridge too


This sailboat almost went over…….twice.


We didn’t see any crab pots today, but did see random logs floating in the river.  It was hard to keep our eyes on the water with the awesome shoreline.

The Rondout Light is a lighthouse on the west side of the Hudson River at Kingston, New York.  The current lighthouse was built in 1915, replacing the earlier 1867 lighthouse. It is really cool to round a bend in the river and see these old lighthouses off in the distance.  This particular lighthouse was a navigational aid for us as we turned into Rondout Creek for our anchorage today.
