It's Winding Down....and a great summer it was!!

We returned to Tarrytown on Thursday, but a day late is better than never.

A Week ago Monday we took our last cruise with the Lucky Find III for this year.
We cruised from Tarrytown to Stony Point, and although it is ony 8 miles, marina to marina, it was a sad cruise because both Dottie and I knew she would be on the hard in a couple of more days. We wondered around the Hudson River like we did not know where to go, and it was a straight run from Tarrytown to Patsy's Bay.We made it OK, dfound our slip and tied it off......now, to get back to Tarrytown and get our car.

We arrived at about 3PM and had to kill about  an hour so we could take the ferry from Haverstraw to Ossining, and then the train from Ossining to Tarrytown. Luckily I planned on the first scheduled departure of the Ferry which was at 4:30 PM. (they run every half-hour, on thehour and the half hour)I called a taxi company which was about a 3 block walk from where we were. I told them we needed a cab from Patsy's Bay Marina to Haverstraw to the ferry terminal. He said OK....we will be there in 10 mins. Well, after about an hour of waiting (it's now 5:15pm) I called a different taxi Company and they picked us up within 10 mins and we're on the way to the ferry terminal for the 5:30 departue.

Now, let me remind you....the ride from Haverstraw is a 15 min ferry ride across the Hudson, and then a 10 minute ride via the Metro North to Tarrytown...here is where we get screwed for time......the train made us wait about 45 minutes for the ride to Tarrytow, so we did not arrive in Tarrytown until 6:45PM....and I am starving, cause I usually eat at 6:00PM. Thank God, Striped Bass restaurant is about a one minute walk from the train station. By 7:00PM, the food was on our table, and I devoured a couple of dozen of raw clams, mussels, lobster and shrimp, all served over cracked ice, Ice Cold.....Delisious.

At 8:30 PM, we left the Tarrytown maina in our car to take the 30 minute ride across the Tappan Zee to the Thruway and to Stony Point. Back to the boat by 9:00PM, and in bed by 9:30....LOL. I need my beauty sleep.
