Ole Savannah Restaurant Dock

Our plans really have changed every day...we were going to take our time going up the Hudson from New York City since the Erie Canal isn't scheduled to open until May 19. But...the day was so pretty and the current was giving us a nice push, so we decided to keep moving. I called the Waterford Visitor Center where people dock before entering the Erie Canal and they told me they still had room on their dock for us. So we made the decision to head to Kingston today and Waterford on Saturday. We docked at the Ole Savannah Restaurant, which offers free docking if you eat there...the food was decent and docks were adequate and we had dinner with a nice couple on the boat docked in front of us. It was a beautiful day on the water.
The Hudson River is beautiful, it runs 315-mile from the Adirondack Mountains of Upstate New York to the Atlantic Ocean. The lower half of the river is a tidal estuary running through the Hudson Fjord, which formed during the last ice age 26,000 years ago. Tidal waters influence the Hudson's flow for over 200 miles up to the Troy Federal Lock.
Leaving the marina this morning...can you see Miss Liberty in the background?
