Wow...who would have thunk it. The Worley's could actually go four long legs of the trip without a grounding/major malfunction (except for George trying to fix the dinghy carburetor) or being caught in a thunderstorm...well we kinda did that third one, but it was refreshing!
We made it out of New Jersey yesterday with a absolutely wonderful cruise up the Hudson. We made all of 6 knots fighting a 3 knot current but the scenery was great going by all the NYC landmarks. We started at the South end of Manhattan and sped (not really) all the way up to Yonkers where we entered the Palisades portion of the Hudson. This area has the high cliffs and densely wooded sides rather unexpected so close to NYC. We cruised for 7 hours entering a nice marina in Haverstraw NY. We met other "Loopers" there and shared our minimal experience and tried to listen more than talk...hard to believe, isn't it Mildred?
This morning we left at O-dark-thirty Ashton time (1000 local) and had another uneventful cruise up to Kingston NY. We are currently anchored in the Roudout River just south of Kingston. Cathy is catching up on her work and Ashton and I are doing a whole lot of nothing...again, hard to believe, isn't it Mildred? More later...plan tomorrow is to make it up just South of Albany and dock at one of the restaurants that gives you free dockage with a dinner drop-in....we are low on beer so it is gonna happen.
Cheers,
