June 28, Day 15 - Eddyville to Coeyman

Woke up to a beautiful day … blue skies. Could this really last?? (We did a quick calculation and noted it has rained on us everyday except Day 1/Departure and Day 12/Newburg). After a quick breakfast and a check of the systems we made our departure at 8:00 a.m.


The weather was gorgous today. Linda even managed to get her 10K walk in today just walking around the deck of the boat. Because the weather was good, there was quite a bit of pleasure boat traffic today. The area we traveled today was very rural looking with rolling green hills, trees and lots of beaches where boats had anchored or grounded so they could fish or go ashore. We passed several bridges and lighthouses (see pictures below).


We decided to stay overnight in Coeyman at Coeymans Landing Marina. It has a restaurant associated with it named Yanni’s Too. We read in the local boating magazine “On the Hudson and Beyond” that they are famous for their calamari. The chef’s website is calamariking.com. We LOVE calamari so it was an easy decision on where we’d eat dinner tonight.

For dinner we had 4 appetizers: calamari, sliders, fish tacos and sweet potato fries. Everything but the calamari was great …. Unfortunately, the calamari was disappointing. Perhaps our expectations were too high.


After doing a load of laundry and taking nice, long showers in the marina facilities, it was off to bed. No rain today ! ! !



Not much room to spare at these docks - until later - every one seemed to leave about the same time. Must have been a group. Gerry did a great job of "parallel parking" the boat right in her spot. We had to actually move one of the boats a few feet, as they were trying to put our 36 foot boat in about 34 feet ... just wouldn't fit

Nav aids on the Hudson - several are located on rock piles and the water 10 feet off is 50 feet deep.

Not sure what this is, but it looked kinda neat and we took a picture - maybe a kiln of some sort.

Hudson-Athens Lighthouse. This is the northern-most lighthouse on the Hudson River

American Tug "Erlene". Doing the loop and headed for the Erie canal.

Rip Van Winkle Bridge. We think the proximatey to this area has made us very sleepy.

Saugerties Lighthouse. The lighthouse welcomes visitors for tours and has overnight B&B accommodations. As we passed, we noticed a couple relaxing on the deck.
