Nous avons passé la 12ième écluse lundi matin le 7 nov après une nuit à quai au NY Welcome Centre à Waterford, NY qui était censée avoir toutes les commodités, selon le gardien d’écluse, mais quand nous sommes arrivés à la noirceur, il y avait seulement le quai, tout le reste avait été endommagé par l’ouragan Irene en août et cette nuit là, c’est descendu -3C et à 8C dans la cabine; quand on s’est levé dimanche matin, il y avait plein de brume sur l’eau et de la gelée au sol!!! Heureusement, ce soir-là, nous avons atteint la Marina Hop-O-Nose située sur la petite rivière Catskill à l’embouchure de la rivière Hudson où nous avions réservé pour remâter; quel site enchanteur et depuis, c’est ensoleillé, calme et ça monte à 18C le jour.

Mark will have to go aloft tomorrow the running backstays ... read more

So Friday we headed out to the Catskills for the weekend for the 10th annual sip and slide! It was a much easier drive than to killington 2 years ago and this time we had a beautiful farmhouse B & B all to ourselves. It was perfect! Before we left to go we got in some quality time with your new excersaucer. Your good buddy Murphy let you borrow his excersaucer and you love it. Your little toes just touch the bottom of the saucer and you started by batting at thing in the first day, and already you are doing more focused hitting and pulling stuff to your mouth, it is so awesome to watch you grow and learn. There are a couple of pictures from our room. The place was gorgeous and it would ... read more
