I can't imagine crossing the Atlantic Ocean on this vessel!
Hudson/Athens Lighthouse with Catskill Mountains in the background.
We woke up just before the alarm went off - 0500 to get underway by 0600 which we did. We have it all timed to get things done in 1 hour. We had the current with use for a few hours and were hitting almost 10 knots until the tide turned. Then, at the same RMPs, we were only moving a little over 7 knots. But it's a beautiful part of the Hudson River with tress and homes high on the hills and the Catskill Mountains in the background. We pulled into Rondout Creek just after passing the lighthouse and went up about .7 mile to Kingston City Marina. We are docked right in the town. I had forgotten that last year when we came here, I named this the "duck poop" dock! People feed about 100 ducks from the wall and instead of throwing the bread into the water, they throw it on the dock. First off I hosed down what was near our swim deck for boarding. It's not too bad in front of us since we are at the end of the dock, but behind us is a mess and I feel sorry for another boat that has to dock there! We will be here tomorrow and leave Saturday for Haverstraw.
