Hudson River





We had originally meant to spend more time in Waterford. New York beconned, however, as Brooke, Beverley's youngest daughter was going to join us there. The weather was still holding so, after grocery shopping with our new friends, we headed to Castleford where we could pick up a mooring ball for $5.00.
Once we arrived, we helped raise the mast on the Nordhaven and everyone helped raise the mast on the Stray Cat. All went smoothly - especially the mast on the Stray Cat.
It felt great to be a sail boat once again!!!
Of course, this meant that the rest of the trip down the Hudson would be windless but one must make sacrifices from time to time.
We gassed up and left early for Newburg where the Torches restaurent and marina offers free dockage to anyone buying dinner. Again, excellent company was enjoyed by all.
In the morning, we left for New York. Although we were sad to leave our friends behind, we were looking forward to a few days on our own.
