Hudson River
Catskill Creek to Pollepel Island
On Saturday Sept. 30th we left Catskill Creek at 0745 hrs. SW winds were predicted with a 20% chance of rain. The beautiful morning mist that we slipped through in the harbour turned into full fog once we were about a mile out on the Hudson River. We inched from one buoy to the next steering by instruments and chart for an hour and a half before the fog cleared, with the ebbing tide giving us l.l knot advantage.
After a cold day on the water we anchored in behind Pollepel Island L41 27'40 on the Hudson River and found our friends on Wingspread also there.
Pollepel Island is a small island in the Hudson River which is just large enough to hold a delightful abandoned castle. We wished we had known it's history and will "google" it when we get a chance.
