We left by 8:35 and cruised up the Hudson on another beautiful, sunny day. We passed the Statue of Liberty, always a stunning sight, and the dramatic Manhattan skyline.
It was a relief to travel on the calm waters of the Hudson River. The scenery as we left NYC was bucolic on both sides of the river.
We reached our mooring at the Nyack Boat Club by 2:35. After a short rest and a quick shower we contacted the launch which took us to shore. The clubhouse looks like a traditional Victorian style home - not at all what one would expect.
From there we walked all through the lovely downtown of Nyack stopping at restaurants to peruse their menus. The downtown is charming with lots of interesting architecture and shops, outdoor restaurants, shady trees and a colorful, friendly vibe.
Jonny was in charge of choosing where he wanted to have dinner since it was Father’s Day. There were lots of choices, many of them ethnic, and he chose a Greek restaurant called Kavos Grill. It was a lively, local place with friendly staff and diners. Sitting outside there were several tables with small dogs so it was definitely a fun and inviting atmosphere and the food was hearty and good. We enjoyed talking to the couple at the table next to us. It was a nice way to end the day.
Afterwards, we headed back to Zendo on the launch whose driver used to live on a boat very near to us in Miami. Such a small world! Then we settled in for a quiet evening in our beautiful anchorage.
