My Close Encounter With The Sloop Clearwater From The Rhinecliff Hotel

This morning was very busy, the phone was ringing quiet a bit, and I was making sure things were in place for my new listings. I was also keeping in mind I was having lunch with my garden club at 12 Noon. The time flew by and before I knew it, it was 11:45 AM. I thought about not going since I would not make it on time. But then again even Realtors need to have some fun, so off I went. I was 20 minutes late yet these ladies always make me feel welcomed, you see most of the ladies are retired and they have come to the realization that as a Realtor I might have to dash off to an appointment.

Going to The Rhinecliff hotel is always a treat, good food and superb service. The door to the balcony of the hotel was open so we could enjoy the spring air. I heard the train coming and excused myself, I have wanted for sometime to get a shot of the train at the Rhinecliff Station which is an Amtrak stop. How delighted I was to finally achieve that goal.

We really enjoyed our lunch and had fun playing a flower game. Several ladies won prizes I did not, although I love gardening I found out I need to also learn the name of the plant, so next time I can win the game.

I assumed getting shots of the train would be the highlight of the day until I stepped out on to the balcony and saw a tall ship. We all thought it might be the Sloop Clearwater but could not verify that it was. Anyway when I got home I checked their calender and sure enough it was the Sloop Clearwater.

Since this year is New York Quadracentenial I know I will be seeing lots of activity on the Hudson River. So if you are thinking of a weekend up in the Rhinebeck area, The Rhinecliff Hotel provides lodging with an awesome view, you just never know what you might see.

Thank you ladies for a wonderful afternoon.
