Another Hazy, hot and humid day...
Showered and waiting for mechanic to ck the engine....
I've learned a couple things on this trip:
1) don't wait for locals to tell you what is happening in their community-ask!
you could miss some great things going on...
2) when someone offers you a ride to town....take it! it could be longer than
you think...
3) don't cut your own hair!
My sister (Theresa) called checking in on us...she is in Rhode Island at the family
summer home....waiting for our call to say we are in NYC...She and her husband are
picking us up when we get there..to stay overnite with them and possibly go to a yankee game...all in the timing...then they will come back to marina with us and go
for a boat ride....
9:35 AM-Mike, owner of marina came by to check our engine...etc...Ken and he discussed it...I have no clue...I just want it to start...It did, we are ok that the
engine is good...not sure about the starter...for now ok...good news, I think!
10:45 AM-left the dock, oops got to go back to dock, forgot the ice!
We stepped the mast, pumped out, gassed up, put water in the tank...life is good!
saw a couple deer along the river's edge...
1:05 PM just went under the Kingston/Rhinecliff Bridge
1:30 PM we were watching that big black cloud catch up with us...pouring rain...
getting foggy out with the rain and all...watching for boats coming at us...
not many on the water....God please send your angels down here to guide us!
2:00 PM- the rain stopped
3:25 PM- Poughkeepsie Bridge
4:30 PM- docked for the night at West Shore Marina- Marlboro, NY
5:40 PM- Glad we docked when we did..huge thunderstorm rolled thru...lightening all around us...I watched one bolt go right to the water about a mile or 2 away. scared the ba-jeepers out of me...I went below...not interested in watching it anymore...the hail came..this all went on for about 1/2 hr....then calmed down....
Ken resting his back for a little while
Ate leftovers for supper and I finally got online so I can post.
what I learned today: Don't dock at a marina that has a railroad crossing right there...very noisy, very very noisy!
Another thing...notice many boats around, no people...it could be a sign if you are the only ones spending the night in a gated marina.......just sayin!
The boat is rocking and rolling, time for bed! That's all folks!
