Croton-on-Hudson ended up being a great stop. The marina was just okay with few amenities--no fuel, pumpout was self-service and inconveniently located, no laundry (1 mile away and $3.50 a load!), a pool on-site but only available to people who live in the attached condo village.

After the angst of trying to get Ubers and Lyfts to the airport in the post-bar-closing/pre-dawn hours, we decided to schedule a car. We were thrilled that our driver was going to be there to pick us up … Continue reading Pasadena, MD, to Delaware City, DE: New State!
