NY City! 79th Street Marina, on the can!
We arrived yesterday, after a long day on the Hudson. It was wonderful to admire Hudson Palisades a line of steep cliffs along the west side of the lower Hudson River in northeast New Jersey. They rise nearly vertically from near the edge of the river, ranging in height between 350 ft and 550 ft . These cliffs are among the most dramatic geologic features in the vicinity of New York City, provide a dramatic vista of the New York City skyline from the opposite bank of the Hudson.

But the current was in our favour and after we filled the diesel tanks in Tarrytown ($4.58 a gallon compared to $1.09 in 1999), we drove down the Hudson in style! Perfect weather, ebb current hitting 3 knots, which made the mooring can dance under the water pressure. But no problems picking up the mooring lines, they streamed straight in the current and it required only to position the bow close enogh to the dancing can so that Marleyne could pick up the lines. 
No Wifi where we are moored, but we are sitting here in the beautiful public library,

in rooms looking out of these Harry Potter movies, and (together with hundred of others) typing away at our terminals. In a few minutes, our time is up, and we will be walking back to the boat.
