| Passing Lady Liberty |
We departed with a little bit more chop in the water than we had anticipated and much more wind than we wanted at 07:55. We made a serious pass by Lady Liberty at 09:30. We didn’t stay long, due to the amount of traffic on the water. While entering the Hudson, we saw a barge with the words “Lockwood Marine”. Linda was able to get a photo, which Brian sent off to our friend, Dan at St Johns’ and sure enough it was part of the same company. Dan even knew what it was they were carrying.
Along the Hudson we saw such diverse architecture styles from contemporary to the great craftsman skills of the mid-1800s. There are a few places along the way that are not fully built out, and along the western bank, we saw high cliffs. At 12:30 we made it to the Tapenzee Bridge, which has just begun a renovation that will take years to complete. By 13:42 we were at Half Moon Bay, and shortly afterwards, Untided and two other loopers (Quotidian and $kid$) joined us at the marina. We hosted a wine celebration on our boat and met with Maurice, who is already a gold looper (meaning he has completed at least one loop) and is currently working on the Down East Loop.
