Day 8 and about 310 knatical miles

We left Waterfort this morning after getting our new navionics apt going. No trouble going through the federal lock. The lock master did not want to know out Erie Canal number, no he wanted our Canadian registration number. 

We started down the Hudson River at about 8:30. High tide in Troy was 10:00, so we rode the current all the way down to Hop o Nose.

When we got here the only place to go was the crane dock. The gentleman in charge ask how he could help. We said we need a place to stay and our mast stepped. He said we could stay where we where, but he could not put the mast up untill the morning. We were fine with that and I started getting the mast ready to go up.

I will include a lot of pictures for after all this is The Hudson. Kelly has been practicing her reading so I will start with that.
