Kayaking the Hudson

Unleash the hounds! Rex, a water dog, of course, joins me for a swim in Haverstraw Bay, the widest point on the entire Hudson River. And on a 95 degree day, neither one of us has to be coaxed into the water!

My perspective on one of the small back channels that run all along the Hudson. They display a spectacular variety of wild life from birds of all kinds, to fiddler crabs, to deer. to fox, to many species of fish. And all of it within site of the US Gypsum plant and Indian Point - Remarkable!

It can't get more beautiful that this! And just 35 miles north of mid-town.

This is looking north, up the River to the peninsula known as Stony Point. There was a crucial Revolutionary War battle fought here. And that small, white tower in the center is Stony Point Light House, the OLDEST light house remaining in New York!

Self portrait - The Old Man and The Sea, or The River, or Something like that!
