6. Still down the Hudson

C-Drifters and Moya Mreeya left early together with the tide heading for Nyack Yacht Club. When we got there we found out that they call their club a boat club and not a yacht club. We have found that in quite a few places in the States. We both tied up to a mooring ball. Ray and Irene rested on board while we went by dinghy to the Boat Club and then walked to town. Nyack is filled with antique shops and we had a hard time finding a supermarket. We had clam chowder and shrimp at the cafe which the club operates. We found the people at the Boat Club very friendly. They could not find their register book and told us not to worry about paying the $20:00 mooring fee and to consider ourselves their guests. We met a Torontonian who had gone to work in the States in the early 70's and he never went back. He still has a cottage in Muskoka but his life and family are in the U. S. We sat around talking until after 10:00 when we finally got in our dinghy to go back to our boat. This is a picture of us at Nyack with the boats in the background.

Nyack was right near the Tapanzee Bridge where our regular boat insurance stops and now we have an extra rider that covers us south to the 23.5 latitude. This was taken by Ray on C-Drifters with a camera on his phone. It is quite remarkable the quality he gets with his little phone which he brought with him from England.
