Departure from Port Henry was at 4:00 PM on October 14. W e anchored the first night at Fort Ticonderoga, then on to Whitehall. After going through Lock 12, we tied up at the town dock for overnight. Then two more days in the canal, arriving at Waterford on Friday, October 17. What a nice facility here; walking distance to grocery store, laundromat, and restaurants, and a Farmers' Market on Sunday with lots of fresh produce, so we really stocked up.
We had lots of company here; Kathy Burns stopped by, Sharon Davidson and Mike Nelson also came to visit. Our good friend Larry Ascenzi took us to do errands all Saturday afternoon, and helped us discover that a potential problem wasn't really a problem at all on Sunday. We are waiting for Jim Morris to deliver our new jib which we had ordered from JSI about a month ago. He offered to have it shipped to him, and is planning to bring it to us here. Once we have that, we will be underway again, down the Hudson. We are planning to have the mast stepped at Catskill, where will also be able to get diesel and propane for our stove.
Colby is doing well; he really prefers it when the boat is tied to a dock, so he can play more!
Nights have been chilly, with frost the past two nights, but we have a small ceramic heater when we are plugged in, and an alcohol burning heat pal for nights at anchor.
