After a terrific breakfast (hot cakes, eggs, sausage, lochs, strawberries & coffee), Edna & Peter dropped us at the boat and we headed to Kingston. TERRY & KAREN – THANKS FOR EVERYTHING, WE HAD A TERRIFIC TIME!!! EDNA & PETER, THANKS FOR ALL OF THE CHAUFFERING AROUND AND SWINGING THE INVITE FOR US!!
Lots of debris in the river again – had to dodge some pretty big logs. Chatted with folks on the American Tug, Elena, from Belfast, Maine. Turns out that they are on the loop as well, but headed to the Erie Canal instead of the Champlain Canal.
Passed a couple of lighthouses (Esposus and Rondout) and arrived at the anchorage in Eddyville on Rondout Creek. A sailboat from California that Gerry had helped dock at Torches the night before was there. He got distracted while talking to him and did a poor job of anchoring. About 20 minutes later, a thunderstorm hit us and we started to drag into the sailboat. Linda had to come out in the drenching rain to help with the anchor while Gerry started the engine and moved to a better spot. Linda didn’t hesitate to remind Gerry that he need to “Focus” on the task at hand – especially anchoring. Linda didn’t appreciate the opportunity to get a free freshwater shower – we were both soaked.
