We took an afternoon sail with Hudson Sailing. We had a great, relaxing time sailing up the Hudson River. The wind was really calm but Dan, the owner and captain, was able to grab what was there and have a good time on the water. ⛵️

We visited the Karma Triyana Dharmachakra Buddhist Monastery outside of Woodstock, NY today. Unfortunately the buildings were closed due to COVID-19, but we saw the grounds, outside of the Shrine building, and the Eight Stupas.

Words we used to describe Vermont: Bucolic, Pastoral, Idyllic, and Verdant.

The bar is high. 😊

I’m eager to read Michael Pollan’s newest book, This Is Your Mind on Plants. We listened to Pollan on Tim Ferriss’ podcast and found it interesting. We got the book at Mirabai in Woodstock, NY.

Blue and yellow sailboats on Rondout Creek connecting to the Hudson River in Kingston, NY.

We had some extra time this morning and saw a trailhead for Overlook Mountain Wild Forest. We stopped and had a nice little hike to start the day.

Great way to spend the afternoon. Sailing on the Hudson River. ⛵️
