Up the Hudson to Half Moon Bay Marina Croton-on-Hudson NY

 We were sad to be leaving Manhattan and yet happy to be on our way once again.  The trip up the Hudson was a bit bumpy but it was nothing like the Potomac or Chesapeake!   Here are some photos we snapped of the skyline as we left the city.

Rob took this pic commenting that this is his next boat!

As we went north, it was interesting to see that the two sides of the river were quite different.  The NY side continued to be hugely populated but the NJ side became wooded with cliffs.  (it was probably just a populated inland)  Funny how the two sides could look so different.

Jersey Side of the Hudson.. a different skyline altogether

Our first stop was at Croton-on-Hudson NY, about a 30 mile trip from NYC.  No special reason we stopped here, just great reviews for the marina on Active Captain.  The marina is nice enough but no pool or laundry and still very expensive compared to what we were used to before coming to NY state... a little less than Liberty Landing but surprisingly not much less expensive.  It's much more mellow here though.  The weather today is PERFECT!  No need for the red neck air conditioner.
