Up and at 'em: Haverstraw to Norrie Point


We were up and away at 5:15 am to catch some of the remaining favorable tide going up the Hudson.  Somebody get me another cup of coffee!

It was another gorgeous day in the Hudson Rvier Valley.  We went past beautiful scenery on our way up to Mills Norris State Park.  Trains travel on both sides of the river.  Passenger trains mostly on the east shore and freight trains on the west.

We passed several interesting places:


West Point Military Academy







Culinary Institute of America

The park is close to FDR's home at Hyde Park and the Vanderbilt mansion.  We spent sometime walking the dogs on the trails at the park and considered staying a few more days to potentially tour the sites.  Our slip was a little rolly and with the increase in boat traffic expected over Memorial Day we decided to move on to find something smoother.
