What this video covers
Cory departs a Hudson River anchorage near Croton and motors roughly 15 miles south to pick up a mooring ball at Dickman's Marina, just north of the George Washington Bridge on the Hudson's east side.14:47 The mooring costs $40 per night, the cheapest berthing option in New York City short of anchoring, which the crew avoids due to strong current and heavy traffic.14:55 The marina provides dinghy tie-up access to shore.15:08 Their previous New York stop, 79th Street Basin Marina near Central Park, is closed.14:36 En route, a cold-water hose blows off its pipe fittings in the engine compartment — two hose clamps proved insufficient as the engine bay warmed — and the freshwater pump runs continuously until Alex shuts it off.7:52 The tank is likely empty by the time the leak is found; all hose clamps are re-tightened.8:51 The fjord-like terrain of the Hudson produces erratic wind shifts despite a steady 15–16 knot breeze at the departure point.5:50 The family also makes a morning hike ashore at Ossining, where they find a playground and grab pizza.8:56 Hose clamps on engine-compartment water lines need periodic checking as heat cycling loosens them.
