On to Esopus Lighthouse

Dawn comes and we start to see the first rustle of the wind. You can see the high clouds moving in and we hope to sail into Kingston before the storm.














We row past Esopus Lighthouse a wooden lighthouse marking a shoal in the river.

We hoist the sail and start to head past the lighthouse. I am at the helm and Mr Dill is running the sail. A square rigged sail setup like the Black Sheep's is like flying a spinnaker. We tear down wind as the wind increases and white caps form.
