One of the many historic buildings along the Hudson this is the Mount St. Alphonsus Seminary. Built in 1904 -1907 its seminary students raised cattle, pigs and crops until 1985. It is now used as a 'Remdemptionist' Retreat.
River's edge at low tide
Another fine day on the Hudson. The weather and river are both beautiful. We had a fairly strong tidal current against us most of the day, but we still managed to put in over 50 miles today. Traffic was fairly light, though we did pass some bigger commercial traffic today. We ended up in the Castleton Boat Club Marina, where volunteer members run the marina along the Hudson. Fueling and pump-out were self-serve, and while Ron took care of the paper work he served us a nice cold draft beer. The facility has it all, clean, friendly and everything reasonably priced (large draft $ 1.50 - pump-out free). Our kind of place.
Tomorrow will be our last on the Hudson. By noon tomorrow we expect to be on the historic & famous Erie Canal, 338 miles long, but more on that later.
