We stayed at Half Moon Bay for 10 days in May on our Great Loop trip. Dockmaster Steve is a legend of hospitality and he did everything he could possibly do to make our stay comfortable. The folks who keep their boats there all season were also very friendly and helpful. We spent three days in New York City. The train ride into the city was efficient and beautiful, re-tracing our route up the Hudson along the shore. We stayed in a hotel in the city and explored until late on the third day when we caught a late train back. We then rented a car and visited West Point and hiked up to the top of Bear Mountain. From the top of Bear Mountain (also accessible by car) you can see NYC on a clear day. There are also numerous stores and restaurants a short walk away in Croton. Apple Barn looks like a small store from the outside but they had most of the provisions we needed. This stop and Steve’s hospitality were highlights of our Great Loop adventure.
