12, Half Moon Bay Marina in Croton-on-Hudson, NY
We
had visited this marina on our first go around, the first stop on the
Hudson River after NYC. The dock master is eager to please, and we
landed there successfully. Another Looper couple was next door,
always a treat to meet these people who have a love of this boating
looper life. Their boat was named “Call Me Curley!”, and we
enjoyed a couple of hours talking, laughing, and telling stories.
While
sitting there, Sharon, the wife, noticed a big red spot on Dan’s
leg. She was quite adamant that it looked like a tick bite, and we’d
better get to Urgent Care right away. I knew it must have been
bothering Dan already, because he readily agreed that we should do
just that.
Long
story short, we did get to an Urgent Care, they supposed it is a tick
bite. Asked if he’d had any unusual aches and pains lately. He
had had some fairly significant pains in his legs and butt lately, to
the extent it has been hard for him to get out of bed. We thought it
was just his age (!), and lots of unusual ups and down stairs and in
and out of engine room. They drew blood, gave him a prescription for
antibiotics. We filled it right away, so he could get started on the treatment that evening.
He
probably does have Lyme disease, the treatment for which is just
antibiotics.
Next
morning, we continued our trip up the Hudson River. Next stop, on
Rondout Creek, the Hudson River Maritime Museum.
