Day 270 July 11 38 mi Half Moon Bay Marina Croton-on-Hudson NY

 
The Hudson River Valley used to be shipping and manufacturing centers.  Now the crowds from the city are moving for the culture and to be without city noise.
We will face a fair current moving north on the Hudson.  Tidal range varies from 3 to 5 feet and the currents @1.5 knots.  Also the wind blows up or down the Hudson with lots of summer squalls.
We have a 8:45AM departure and hopefully the rain will stay away.....

The George Washington Bridge opened in 1931 during the Great Depression.  30 years later the lower, second deck (fondly known as the "Martha Washington Bridge") was added.
