Did I say that the Waterford docks are free? It's not that boat cruisers are cheap, but they recognize value when they see it. The docks are nearly full today. The rain is coming, and hopefully not too much. We picked up our mail and got groceries. We took down the mast to get under the bridges for the start of the Erie Canal.
I have collected a half dozen boat cards of people that are going our way. The boats all vary but these are the people that we will see again at different places on our route to Canada. We'll travel together and wait out weather together. It's a very reassuring way to travel and make friends. I have already had people ask me if we were in Half Moon Bay last week, or they saw us in Deltaville, VA earlier this month. Word travels fast on the water.
Tomorrow we go west.
We just returned to OMYC from a 4-day cruise on the James and Chickahominy Rivers with Sonata. Had a great time but the high temps and humidity were kinda brutal the last day. (I even got Frank to run the generator overnight so we would have AC!! But I think his real reason for doing so was to charge the batteries since the battery charger died!!!) I bet the temperature is much cooler where you are and where you are headed. Have a wonderful, safe trip.
