And a much smaller rowboat with a motor on it in the foreground.

It's quite amazing how much traffic is on this Amtrak line going between Albany and New York City. You would think a relatively small city like Albany would not justify so much rail service or such long trains.

The mud shows how high the tide came in the early morning. The tide was particularly high due to the strong sothernly breeze. It's a good thing that I put the tent and kayak up pretty high. Also notice the bear bag I set up last night -- not for bears per se, but any other animal looking for some snacks during the night.
