Another nice day for cruising. But first we were off to Red Start Coffee and a wonderful warm almond croissant (me) and cinnamon raisin bagel with cream cheese for Mark.
Waiting to go out at high tide, we left at 9:45 and again, so much nice scenery although the mountains are no longer in view but as always trees, trees and more trees. Oh how I would love to be here in another 6 weeks for the fall colors. Along the way we saw quaint lighthouses,
little farms tucked in the hills and then suddenly back to the big city and life on the river with this big freighter from Hong Kong coming into Albany.
Entrance to Kingston
Sweet little lighthouse coming into Saugerties, NY
Freighter from Hong Kong
Much activity on the river as we came into Albany.
Although we are at the Albany Yacht Club, we are actually in Rensselaer, NY across the river.
We were at this marina with Philip and Annette in 2011 for 1 night en route to NYC.
Good news for Michael - he finally has some relief in his sciatica nerve and back....he says he went from 5% to 50% since Sunday!!!!
The winds were extremely strong and thunderstorm advisory for next 6 hours - that's what greeted us when we arrived at the yacht club. We went 55 miles and arrived at 12:15. We went for a walk, but after a very pleasant ride on the water, it is HOT here - 90 (feels like 99) and gusts to 24 mph.
Played spades in the afternoon (a rare win for me) and read our books. Had leftovers for lunch from last night's Italian fare and BLT's for supper.
Mark won 2 games of euchre tonight - storms are happening (some tornadoes, too) all over upstate NY. Keeping a close eye on the weather channel and radar.
