We left our beautiful anchorage this morning around 11:00, as our leg today was only 17 miles. The natural highlight was spotting the bald eagle. Only the 2nd one we have seen since we left Georgia. The picture isn’t great, but it’s the thought that counts, right?

There’s a bald eagle somewhere. 
A bridge and an eagle in the same pic. As good as it gets. 
No worries about hitting bottom today. Just watch for logs that will remove your prop for you.
We traveled to Newburgh, NY to the Front Street Marina, tied up and caught a Lyft to West Point.
West Point from the water. 
It gets its name from being the most western point at the turn in the river. 
The Plain, as it is known here. 
The campus overview. 
Over 22,000 pipes on this organ. 
Boat view of the bay. 
The same bay from West Point. 
Memorial of unity of the North and the South. All cannons turned away from one another.
I loved seeing West Point. Not just the buildings and hearing the history, but more, what it stands for. Duty, honor, country. Duty, what you do; honor, how it’s done; country, who it’s for. I will neither lie, cheat, or steal, nor tolerate those that do. Leadership of character. We benefit from this moral code. O, to count it as that thing to be grasped. This was, indeed, a good day.
