Wednesday, August 17

The air is so fresh today with beautiful blue skies, few puffy clouds and we are back to cruising!    Didn't get to Catrina with Philip and Annette till 11:30 last night.   Sooo good to see them...Annette fixed her delicious veggie, ham and cheese omelets for breakfast and we left Renssalaer at 9:00.

Pretty country with the wide Hudson, lots of trees, rolling hills and the Catskill Mountains in the distance.

Cruising down the Hudson River
The Spirit of the Hudson
Annette and Philip
The Hudson-Athens Lighthouse

Arrived in Kingston at the municipal marina at 1:30 (66 miles) and then off to explore the town (mostly little cafes and other restaurants)  Had a very good Mexican lunch outdoors at Rosita's Cantina along the Kingston River.   Philip and I walked around; Annette took a nap and Mark did computer stuff.   Warmed up to 86 degrees.

Kingston was New York's first state capital in 1777. 

Annette's aunt, uncles, cousins, little ones, all came to Kingston - we hung out on Catrina and then walked to
The Steel House for dinner.    It took forever to get our food (we were there almost 3 hours), but fun visiting.
