62 miles        Green Cove, Hudson River, NY to Saugerties, NY

We are still traveling with Nelson & Sandra aboard Destinees and its fun exchanging ideas and picking out our next stop. Traveling north through New York state on the Hudson we are starting to see a change in the scenery. Gone are the flat marshes and on to mountains and trees. This stretch has some very beautiful country. It reminds us of our travels up the Tenn. River last fall.

Pollepel Island (Francis Bannerman built the castle in

1901 as an arsenal to store munitions cartridges).

Our anchorage for tonight is in a little town called Saugerties. It’s a quaint town on a small river just off the Hudson.
