The Beautiful Hudson River
24 May 2016 | The Hudson River
Saturday, May 14th - very foggy! We waited until about 8:30 for the fog to lift to be comfortable leaving. Down the center of the valley, there was fog sitting low on the water - sunny anove and all around. Once out in the channel, we coudn't see anything for the next hour until it burned off. It was a much warmer day today - at last!
Our plan was to stop at Mariners on the Hudson - great restaurant, passable docks. As we approached we could see that the docks were missing and the restaurant was closed! So, another 10 miles put us in Kingston, NY, a really nice little town and another restaurant with a dock. Food was excellent and the dock was better than Mariners. An excellent stop!
Now, it's just 20 miles to Catskill, where they will take the mast down for the Erie Canal. Ron scrounged parts to build mast supports and as usual Riverview did an excellent job getting the mast down. Tomorrow, we will leave for Waterford qnd the start of the canal.
