Port to Port: Haverstraw, NY
Underway: 0:00 am Motor Off: 0:00 pm Miles Traveled: 0 Stayed At: Anchor
Mile 116 to Mile 116: After an amazingly quiet and peaceful night – it was hard to tell we were floating and not on land somewhere – we awoke to rain and overcast skies – just like forecast. It was definitely a lazy day. Cindy made me breakfast in bed (milk and cereal) and I didn’t put pants on until after I finished one of the books I’ve been reading for several weeks just before lunch at 1:30 pm. Decadence. It’s really hard to get motivated on gray, wet days. I’m just glad we are in a safe anchorage and not trying to meet some artificial schedule.
We didn’t do much today. Naps and reading were the main goals. We watched the last episode of Northern Exposure we had with and the first couple episodes of Homeland (not the best thing to watch just before bed) – thanks Garrett. We’ll see how the weather is tomorrow before deciding our next move. We plan to go slow and break up our Hudson trek into small legs since we can’t go anymore once we get to Waterford until the locks reopen on the Erie Canal.
Hi Mike and Cindy, We saw your boat in NYC – we moored just ahead of you but never saw you on the boat. I think the last time we saw you was last fall maybe at Pebble Isle Marina.
We were in Troy, NY for 4 Days and now in Waterford but for the moment that is the end of the line until they open the locks. Hope we will run into you again somewhere along the way. Lynne and Ron, Northern Spirit
