In the wake of Mum-Mum

Well we are getting behind, so no pictures tonight. I wish I had my apple. This PC needs a lot of attention.

Any way we spent the last night in Sleepy Hollow. Well they call it Tarrytown now, but is was where Washington Irving lived when he wrote about Ichabod Crane and his adventures.

The area we cruised through was the setting of the story of Bendict Arnold and his treason against our country during the Revolutionary War.

Tonight we are anchored behind Pollapel Island where a Mr. Bannerman built a castle that lies in rather impressive ruins. We will include a picture soon.

The big news is that Durelle found a post card from Mum-Mum sent in 1913 when she travelled the Hudson River by boat from Albany to New York, exactly the route we are travelling, in reverse. She passed right by where we lay at anchor 95 years ago. Gail's mother Shiela would have been 2 years old then. Where was she? At any rate it is rather overwhelming to learn this news while are actually travelling the waters she traveled!
