Hudson Day 3: Jamacan Jerk at the Shady Rest Marina

Today was a perfect day on the Hudson, the water was flat and the it was a flood tide (so, in our direction). We passed many beautiful estates, including the Vanderbuilt mansion, which is now open to the public.  Still many undivided zillionaire estates here.

Some very different lighthouses along the way:

We stopped early to dock at the Shady Rest Marina to take advantage of the pool and other really nice facilities.  We were happy to discover that today they were hosting the Jamacian Jerk Off (a BBQ contest between various yacht clubs and groups of individuals, benefiting  the Alzheimers Association). For $10 bucks we had all you can eat BBQ chicken, brisket, hamburgers, hot dogs, corn on the cob and dirty rice.  Not to mention the $5 margaritas... and a great band.  Everyone had an awesome time!
