A DAY OFF AND A CRUISE TO ALBANY

DAY 6 Thurs. JUNE 9, 2011     L 70*  H 90's HHH Eve. Tstorms
Layover in Kingston, NY
DAY 7 Fri. JUNE10, 2011    L 65*  H 80   Sunny, clear, dry.
Dep. Kingston 06:55   Arr. Albany YC   3:10  50.66 m.

Thurs we layed over in Kingston.  It was so hot we turned on the a/c and stayed in the boat. When we discovered we had no clean underwear Pat braved the heat and took the laundry to the laundramat.  That night a cold front came thru with t'storms and brought relief from the heat.  Tomorrow, we leave.
Fri. we departed for Troy, but around 3PM with another hr. or 2 to go, we tied up at the Albany YC in Rensselaer, NY. The trip north was pretty as the river changes from very wide to more narrow with islands along the way and finally, near Albany to very commercial. There were also many interesting lighthouses along the way one of which is pictured above. They are all similar in style, but different in design. Upon arrival Pat called her cousin Joe Henkel whom we haven't seen for several years and made arrangements to meet him on Sat.


So this is where they get all that stone from.

WOW! A real PT boat! Funny, we didn't see this on the way into Kingston.
