Day two World's End


We proceed to leave Bear Mountain around the 9 o'clock time frame after a breakfast of coffee cookies and hard boiled eggs. Hard boiled eggs turn out to be a constant companion on the trip. We will row 18.5 miles this day and pass West Point. We stop at a marina for a head call , you can see it pictured in the lower corner. It was called Highland station and was a rail station in the day. We stop at the creaky docks and Mr Dill proceeds to put on his waistcoat ( we are proper sailors ) and inquire about use of the head. There are three gentleman seated under a tent and after they come to grips with who we are and why we are dressed funny , point to the head. They explain that as we head up to World's End, we may get a favorable wind . They claim to know every inch of the river and I believe they probably do. This picture is looking towards West Point with the Marina in the bottom left. On towards Worlds End!
