Half Moon Bay to Mills-Norrie State Park Marina

We knew wind and wave conditions would be knocking on the door of our NO-GO criteria, but the wind forecast (the Blue Windy app) was south gusts under 25 MPH until 1100, then picking up to 30 MPH with river waves under 2 feet. We chose this marina because it was the only one in this neck of the woods with some protection from South winds and waves. Although we were tied up before 1100 it was a rough ride overtaking 2.4 ft breaking slop. Within a few hours the forecast changed to Gusts of 40 MPH (35 sustained is a Gale Warning) as pictured. No pictures en route because it was just too rough and I needed Eileen's help in watching for floating logs hidden in the chop. We luckily avoided about six.
Eileen thinks the SP Turtle Crossing sign is cute. I imagine a mom and 12 babies could hold you up there for hours.
We have an (online only) reservation here for tomorrow night to allow us a full day to explore the FDR gardens, a famed cafe and walk the Pedestrian Bridge over the Hudson back at Poughkeepsie.
