Row on Thursday, August 6, 2020

Nice row this morning. Sunrise was spectacular. The creek was infested with herons darting back and forth across the jetty. We decide to cross the Hudson to see how long it would take and to check out Rhinecliff Train Station. Found that there is a nice boat launch there as well as kayak launch. Rowed back across towards the Kingston Tanks and then home. A total of about 4468X2 = 8936 meters (5.55 miles). Splendid temperature, 70-ish, no traffic on the creek or the river. Just so pea122a2b2ca3a3b45ceful. Can’t wait to be back.
