The mighty Hudson

We left Troy NY at 11:00 and spent the day cruising the Hudson River to NY. We docked at Hyde Park around 6pm and enjoying a big pot of chicken stew on the boat. The fall colour were breathtaking today, the picture above was taken of the lighthouse at the entrance of Kingston, NY. We got some excited after dinner when an masked bandit boarded the boat. Ted spotted him sneaking onto the back swim platform and in the back door which we had left open to cool down the engine room. The captain quickly scrambled and chased our unwanted visitor off the boat. He waddled down the dock with his ringed tail between his legs. Funny thing is - it doesn't matter where you are in NY you can always hear or see a train going past night and day.
