ENROUTE TO CATSKILL, NY
We leave the wide waters of Haverstraw, NY area of the Hudson. We pass the most scenic part of the river going under the Bear Mountain Bridge and passing West Point on our way. This is our 3rd time passing this beautiful part of the Hudson River. The first in a power boat.

The crazy winds that came up Sunday afternoon are gone as we head north towards our final stop on river - Catskill, NY where we will prepare the boat for it's Champlain Canal Lock transit.
We make a fuel stop at Kingston, NY as Catskill Marina advised their fuel dock had issues. Tropical Storm Sandy roared through the Hudson River Valley in fall of 2012 causing widespread flooding and damage. We dock at Catskill. We walk into town and find a handy pizza spot not far from the marina.
On Tuesday we prepare to return home for a few days as it is time for me to get off the boat and make an important doctor appointment. We arrange for dockage til Friday, secure a rental car, load it up and drive back home to Vermont (3 hr. drive from south of Albany). Before we leave, Bruce gets the boat ready for the canal with its strict height limits and need for hefty bumpers on the rough lock walls.
