After a very relaxing down day in Waterford we were on the move again very early this morning. We passed thru the small Federal lock at Troy with a fleet of tug boats & then were on our way south on the Hudson. We had the tide with us & even going directly into a South wind which at times reached 30 Knots we managed to maintain good speed and were docked in Kingston by 2:00pm, just in time (well not quite) to avoid the huge downpour & thunder that came in from the west. After we all dried out ( the Captain managed to stay dry) we headed out for lunch & tonight we are all just vegging out, catching up on correspondence.
The forecast for this evening is for severe t-storms & torrential rains but at this point the radar looks as if it might have missed this area.
Tomorrow we will continue our journey down the Hudson & if all goes well will be in New York City tomorrow evening.
As we found on the trip North in 2010 the Hudson River scenery is spectacular & the mind is boggled by the size of some of the real estate along the river.
All in all another great day, abeit a bit breezy & wet at the end. More adventures tomorrow.
