We’re anchored off Croton Point, just north of the Hudson River’s Tappan Zee Bridge, (locals will understand why I won’t use that other name). It’s a beautiful afternoon but feels like it’s going to get a bit chilly.

The First Mate felt like comfort food so while I did some minor repairs, she got to making dough, chopping vegetables and last night’s leftover chicken. We’ll have a salad with Romaine, a beefsteak tomato, red onion rings and black olives with blue cheese dressing. Dessert will be Bosc pears marinated in spiced brandy.

The sunset and moonrise should be exceptional! I know our dinner will be.

not until just after 9 p.m!

76 here now, t'storms forecast from 9 p.m., temps down to 67 overnight.

SAY HEY to Hudson for me, plze!

Your daily photos of southern Maryland inspire us to return to the Chesapeake!

Have a good evening.
