Thursday October 26th. The re-masting went great. Everything was smooth, thanks to the professional team at Hop-O-Nose Marina. We left the marina yesterday morning, with the intention of anchoring in a little hurricane hole right next to Haverstraw, but the winds pipped up to 43 knots and we had to turn into the marina for safe harbour. We spent a windy night on board and are angling to try out for the anchorage once again this afternoon. Plans are to make way for New York as soon as the winds calm down, possibly not until Sunday or Monday. We will keep a close watch on the weather and will post another entry as soon as we make way. All in all, things are good.....just a little colder then we like!!! :) Annie & Eric XOX... read more

Today Sunday October 22, 2006, We have arrived in Catskill NY, @ the Hop-O-Nose Marina, after two days of traveling through the Champlain Canal lock system. The first night after departing Shelburne Shipyard (Lake Champlain) we docked for the night in Whitehall NY @ lock 12. Saturday we motored through, lock after lock, to Mechanicville NY, which is just after lock 3 where we spent Saturday night. Today we are now finished with all the locks and are now on the Hudson River back at sea level. This will be our first night returning to a tidal influence. Plans tomorrow are to start with the re-masting and after which we will put everything back together!! Leave us your comments in the comment section, we would love to hear from you..
