Plans are flexible! We had planned to leave Kingston
first thing in the morning, but decided to wait until noon. We used that time
to tour the wonderful Hudson River Maritime Museum which was in walking
distance of our boat. There is a large replica of Henry Hudson’s boat, Half Moon when you enter the museum. Henry Hudson made his journey here in 1609. We
briefly visited with Sterling Lady,
platinum Loopers heading south returning to Florida.

At 11:45 we departed with Rickshaw and Quest and made a
short 8.8 mile trip to Saugerties, NY where we rafted together and anchored
out. We were delighted that Moor $tuff
caught up with us and rafted with us also.
We all had dinner on Rickshaw and enjoyed Ricky’s (Quest) delicious taco
soup. With intermittent rain showers
that cooled the temperature, it was the perfect meal!
When we left the inlet at Kingston we passed the
Rondout Lighthouse which is now used as a Bed & Breakfast. We will continue to Waterford on Thursday.
