After being on board since our departure on April 15th, Margaret and Jon departed for home on June 1st. They will rejoin us in Burlington, Vermont. As we exchanged hugs and a few tears with Margaret and Jon, a taxi delivered our new crew member, Atlanta's Tom Coker. Brief introductions all around and the Fullertons were off to catch their plane and we departed Liberty Landing.
Since Tom had not sailed into the harbor with us, a harbor cruise was in order. We cruised past the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island, up the East River, under the Brooklyn Bridge, back around lower Manhattan and began our trip up the Hudson River, picking our way through a myriad of ferries. We were surprised that it didn't take long for the concrete of NYC to give way to open, forested land, high cliffs and quaint towns. A few miles north of the Tappan Zee bridge, we pulled into the Half Moon Bay Marina at Croton-on-Hudson.
