Goin' with the Flow
Anchor to Anchor - Nyack to Esopus Creek
72 miles - 12 hours

We had a wonderful and interesting ride north on the tidal flood, south wind and waves.




We passed estate mansions the likes of Roosevelt, Vanderbilt and the Culinary Institute of America (formerly a Jesuit monastery).  We also passed the Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant and Sing Sing Maximum Security Prison (hence the expression, "being sent up the river").
The Catskill Mountains are visible off to our west.
The whole way along, on both river edges, the railway runs (passenger trains on the east and freight trains on the west).
