Indiscipline Cruise 2000
New York to New Jersey
Roundout Lighthouse We continued down the Hudson past the Roundout Lighthouse.
This castle is on a little island in the middle of the Hudson. It looks as if it is being reclaimed by the foliage. I wonder if anybody lives there any longer. A castle long abandoned.
Westpoint
Here is Westpoint. Wow is this a huge place. The buildings are incredible, it looks like a castle. There is a dock there which guests can tie up and take a tour. Unfortunately they were busy, so we couldn't stop there. It would have been fun to bring a boat in named Indiscipline to a facility that teaches discipline!
We saw a lot of different kinds of ships, but this was one of the most beautiful. I think they were building it as they sailed along because there was a lot if hammering and sawing noises coming from it.

A Tallship
A Barge Tug A typical barge tug. They don't actually tug, they push the barges.

Navigator Duncan concentrating on the route.
Our navigator always keeps us in the correct channel.
"Skipper, you need to leave the green buoys on the
starboard. New York is just ahead."
George Washington Bridge The George Washington Bridge and lighthouse.
