We got a bit of a late start not leaving the dock until around 9. We spent another long day on the Hudson traveling for about 10hrs. Going by West Point was neat; I wish we had time to stop for the tour as I’m sure it would have been very interesting. We passed by so many huge houses that day that we just could not pick out our favorite so we decided we were better off with our boat and kept going. On a side note Amy decided that any of the houses landscaped all the way down to the water must be reserved for folks with crazy money (clearly not us yet). Overall we were still doing pretty well with our boat, we had veered off of the channel at one point in the day and got caught up in some pretty deep sea weed that got wrapped up in the prop. I did my best to untangle it by shifting from forward to reverse a few times and it seemed to help getting our speed back up from 3 knots to 5 again. We pulled in to Norrie Point Marina at about 7:30 that night and again we were all pretty tired. I coming in I thought I had the boat all lined up for a nice soft landing but did not realize the current was as strong as it was and ended up hitting the dock pretty hard (I hope that scratch comes out?) Unfortunately they did not have showers or fuel but they did have a pump out and ice and the staff was very nice.
