Anchoring By A Castle

The excitement started this morning when Jim pulled up the anchor - and hooked someone's abandoned anchor (his second catch). Another beautiful day and we motored 40 miles to Pollepel Island in the Hudson River for the night. Bannerman's Castle sits atop the 6 acre rock. It was built as a munitions storage facility by a 1900s businessman from NYC. After an explosion and later a fire, the photo shows what remains. This is an absolutely amazing spot - especially if you enjoy Amtrak trains!
