10-16-10, Catskill, NY

Today was a nice day, but windy.  We traveled down the Hudson River from Troy to Catskill, NY.  When we got to Hop-O-Nose Marina, there was no space to tie-up.  A 51 foot boat invited us to raft up to them, so we did.  "Saber Tooth" (one of the Canadian boats that we have been traveling with) then rafted up with us.  We are scheduled to get the mast put back up tomorrow.  We will be the third ones to get our mast up tomorrow.  The wind was really blowing today out on the river.  It was out of the North, so it helped push us along.  The current at troy was 2 knots going South.  Most of the time it was less than a knot.  We got to the marina at about 2:00 PM.  One of Kyles friends stopped by yesterday.  I think they enjoyed the bars in Troy.  Kyle slept most of the way to Catskill.

  1. Dave,

    It is a good time to see the fall colors around Catskill, NY. Can you take a picture when you sail pass through West Point by Hudson River?

  2. Sounds like a lot of fun. You had a floatilla going on there! Love the fall colors. It is still in the 80's down here. I went kayaking with friends last night in Titusville. We will have to do that while you are here. It was a lot of fun. A fish (mullet) jumped into one of the kayaks. Laugh out loud.
