Chilling in Waterford

Its been raining since early this morning and looks like it will continue to do so all day so we've decided to stay put and do some of those fix it things that always need doing. But first BREAKFAST, we've heard that a place called Don & Paul's is the place to go.



Seems the stories are true - the three of us ate (and I do mean ate) for $15. How about playing pool while your eating breakfast.

When we got back to the boat we ran the water dry in the tanks and filled up again with fresh. Then we emptied the dingy, even though it was full of water we got it on the dock and tipped it over. Then we phoned ahead to Catskill (Cats - kill) Creek to give them the heads up that we were coming and would be needing to step the mast, no problem they said. The weather is supposed to improve so we'll head south tomorrow. Past Troy Lock the river is tidal.

The schooner Lois McClure is a full-scale replica of an 1862-class sailing canal boat, constructed in Burlington, Vermont. She was nudged into the dock just behind us this afternoon. Here she is with her sails up:

Little less rain this afternoon but not a good day to be out and about. This picture would be the sunset picture for the day.
