One of those crisp beginning of fall days on the Hudson. Thinking about Jack finally getting out on the water tomorrow made me want to get out today and JUST DO IT
It's so easy now with the skiff down at the Boat Club, I dropped Tess off at Karate ( yea whole nother story ) So anyway I'm already in town and it is a incredible day so what the hey let me go for coffee at Guinans and motor over from Cold Spring.
Likity split I'm puttering away from the Cold Spring dock due south to Garrison. BEAUTIFUL DAY. Sun is shining and I', Loving it. Get to Garrison so fast tie up go grab a coffee and a buttered roll, talk with the gawkers and locals looking at the skiff.
Finish up and back out on the water. I experimented with a line on either end of the motor so I could sit on the center thwart and steer. But I noticed that if I put the motor dead center and the right rpm's I could simply change course by leaning port or starboard and ride the chine. Kinda like a motorcycle. I navigated the sharp "S" curve from Garrison to the Cold Spring dock with out ever once moving the tiller on the motor. Kinda cool
OH and of course some photos
