A beautiful start to the day with plenty of sunshine, cool temps and the air was so fresh! After the heat and wind from yesterday and the rain last night (thankfully, no storms), this feels wonderful!
We left the Albany Yacht Club at 8:45 and had a short jaunt (11 miles) to our first lock (Troy) and the start of the Erie Canal. We are back in fresh water after SIX years in salt water - we will NOT miss that!!!
We veered off to the left at the intersection of the Mohawk and Hudson Rivers.
We are in Waterford (been here before - 2011, and nice little town.) We will stay here (tied up along the wall and only pay $10 for electricity) for 2 nights which is the maximum stay.
We walked downtown and had a late breakfast at Don and Paul's Coffee Shop.
Today's weather is just total perfection - turned off the air, opened the windows and enjoying the fresh air!
Mark and I walked across the Hudson on the Union Bridge from Waterford to Troy and I got a manicure and toe polish change at Lansingburgh Nails and Spa this afternoon. He picked up a few groceries at Hannaford's. This is about 8/10 of a mile walk and for the boaters, they let you use a grocery cart to bring back your provisions to your boat and then leave the cart here at marina office. We boaters appreciate this. But only had a few small items to pick up today - trying to clean out the cupboards/fridge as our boating days for this season are nearing an end.
Had thought we would eat supper on Catrina....but remembered McGreivey's from 2011 and that's where we were off to. Sat on the patio amongst beautiful flowers on this gorgeous evening. Our drinks and dinner were excellent and then topped off with a Guinness Stout Chocolate Cake!
Oh my....................
Memory from Kansas City air show exactly 2 years ago today

Ryan flying #6 across the bridge we had walked over to the show.
Michael got his injection today - praying that it will kick in soon and he is pain free!
Tomorrow we are renting a car and seeing the sites in this area~!
Luke did face time with us tonight - he was outdoors with his Mommy and Daddy in front of a roaring bonfire!
