We departed Newburgh this morning after one hell of a night. The boat was slamming against the dock all night and the vigil was on. It was a calm morning, though cloudy, so we made Kingston in under two hours and should have gone further but I had never been to Rondout Creek before and decided to take the time. Kingston is obviously trying to revitalize their waterfront and their efforts are mediocre at best. That said, we had a great time walking around, looking in the shops and having lunch. The Municipal Dock no longer exists as it has become commercial by and for the Town of Kingston. And the showers had no hot water!
We plan to leave early tomorrow and see how far we get before the rain comes and we are considering our marina options to ride out the storm that we are predicted to endure Saturday and Sunday. I love the Hudson but it is time to move on. The picture is of the Roundout Lighthouse that is now abandoned and would make a great home for the person with imagination and perseverance but it's fate is still undetermined.
All boat systems are working up to expectations except for Direct TV as is seems to have a mind of it's own concerning when it will give you a picture. I will attempt to troubleshoot this but it will have to be by trial and error and could take some time but somehow I think I can find a solution. I think that we are starting to unwind and are looking forward to safe and fun trip.
We will see what happens next.
