Cruisin' down the Hudson

September 8 - 11

Albany Yacht Club

We spent 3 days in Albany where we met Doug and Jan's friends Chris and Pat Race.  Our mail finally caught up with us, thanks to them!  Chris also graciously loaded us into his pickup for a grocery and liquor store run, so we're fully provisioned and ready to move on.

Next stop Kingston, NY

Rondout Yacht Basin, about 40 miles farther, was the logical overnight stop.  Just off the Hudson, it was an older, well kept marina with the requisite railroad bridge just upstream.  Just can't seem to get away from those trains!

Scenes from the Hudson..............  





West Point was one of the highlights along the way












      The other side says "Sink Navy" , of course!







On this anniversary of 911, we are once again reminded that freedom isn't free.  We're grateful every day to the men and women of our armed forces, police and fire fighters who serve all of us every day.
