Waterford

Today we had an easy one. We travelled 35 nautical miles and arrived in Waterford at 3:00. We then went shopping by walking over the bridge, shop and with the stores permission wheel the cart back to the boat.

It has rained off and on all day. To prove, engine problems aside, how blessed the trip has been it did not rain at the lock, our landing nor the walk to and from the store. Well I exaggerate a little we were actually about 50 yards from the boat when it started to rain.

Tomorrow we will stay here and relax. First on the agenda is breakfast. We like having breakfast at a restaurant. But have not done it much during this whole adventure.

By the way there is a web cam pointing towards the Hudson. If you look closely you will see Irish Mist's cockpit and dingy. I will leave you with some pictures from today.

The Hudson

Now called The Federal Lock this use to be Lock Number 1

This is why we take the mast down

Hiding behind the covered bridge is Lock Number 2
