The Hudson River

Since leaving Castleton Boat Club on Tuesday 9/7 Dalliance has spent a night on the municipal dock in Coxsackie and two nights at anchor in Rondout Creek 2.5 miles west of Kingston NY.  The tidal currents on the Hudson are very strong and we make the best time heading south if we leave shortly before or on the high tide.  Unfortunately the high tides have come between 2- 3am and 3-4pm leaving us only a couple of hours of daylight to take advantage of the tide.  Dalliance is currently docked at the Rondout Yacht Basin in Kingston as Kris and I are leaving for Belize early this morning.  We won't rejoin Dalliance until the 17th at which time we'll continue moving south toward NY City.  We'll try to post up some more pictures upon our return.  Stay tuned for updates as the journey continues.
