Made it without problems out of the inlet. We had to boost a bit the engines to meet the wave but overall this was a very nice and sunny ride to Cape May. Temperatures are in the 60s unbelievable. Anchored near the Coast Guards,near a Canadian ⛵. It feels like we completed our circle after all. Mil...
Oct 31st City Island to Atlantic city, New Jersey
Around 2am Harvey and I were awake. Given that high tide at the bridge was at 4:24 am we decided to hit the water instead of waiting the afternoon tide. We left after 3am. So we went through the East River and Hell's Gate at night at high tide and we had a nice push. Happy we went without through wi...
Oct 30th New Haven, ct to City Island, ny
The ride down to City Island was nice and easy. We ended up taking a mooring ball at the City Island Yacht club. Very nice to take a shower and walk to the grocery store for a few days groceries. The launch service was nice to have. The sunset with a beer on the flybridge..a long time the weather wa...
Oct 30th Mystic to New Haven
On the home stretch, this means traveling every day and no more touristic excursions. The weather is forecasted to be sunny, calm and cool.

The water was low at mid low...
Oct 25 and 26th Newport, RI
Very foggy trip but calm waters. Arrived at Newport, we had difficulties raising the harbor master on vhf 16, but settled for mooring 4 off the Goat Island. The harbor master picked up our last ditch effort to call, it is $45.00 a night. Evening was wet but very nice, the old city, walking around th...
October 23rd and 24th New Bedford
The passage through the Cape Cod Canal went smoothly arrived at Sandwich Inlet past Ebb and had a strong push to Buzzard Bay. We had to bring down the RPM to stay within the 10mph speed limit. We originally intended a stop at Onset but given the good condition and the rain expected, we headed furthe...
Oct 22nd Plymouth
Moored at the city field. Used our dinghy as the launch service is finished for the season. The harbor master let us stay for free. He gave us the code for a nice clean bathroom and laundry facility, however we never used it as we left early next morning. Beautiful warm weather, busy Saturday with t...
October 20th and 21st Boston
A very nice day in Boston. Arrived around noon. Ariel at the sailing club picked us right up after we had lunch on the boat. She dropped us near the Intercontinental hotel and we walked the Freedom trail through town. We walked up to Bunker Hill, and stopped to view the uss Constitution and the ww2...
Oct 17th to 19th Salem and Marblehead MA
After a very calm trip to Salem, we enjoy a short visit to the House of Seven Gables, rained rode back to boat. Next day, warmer and sunnier we visited Salem. It is very much the Halloween spot here...a bit mych to our taste, but still enjoy walking the old city and admire the history around it. We...
Oct. 12 to 16th Portsmouth NH
Harvey was still feeling tired but we decided to leave as the boating conditions were excellent. The forecast however for Thursday through the weekend was terrible: strong winds, rain, and up to 7ft waves. We fueled at Sunset Marina and left after 9am. We had a very easy ride to Portsmouth: sunny, s...
October 10th and 11th Portland Maine
We went to Portland with the launch service. Harvey wasn't feeling great, we ate outside a light lunch, and walked to Victoria Mansion. Did the visit there, masks were required for everyone. Couldn't find a convenient store so we returned empty handed. The launch service picked us up at 3:30 pm. Har...
October 1st to 10th Mooring in Falmouth
Given the weather we wanted to be well set in Portland. Mooring there wasn't available and the cost of leaving our boat for 10 days in town was just too pricey, so we called Handy Boat Service in Falmouth Foreside and reserved a mooring ball. They close on the 10th but told us that they could have u...
Sept 30 Eagle and Jewell Islands
We stopped for a visit to Eagle Island where Admiral Peary had his Summer home. We tied to the mooring ball, viewed the video and took a walk around the island. The home is closed for restauration. The views were superbe. Nearby is Jewell Island. The weather being still very nice we went ashore and...
Sept 29th Boothbay Harbor
A short 2 hours cruising to Boothbay Harbor, a bit choppy but calmed as we entered the harbor. This late in September we had our pick for a mooring ball. We stayed at Tugboat Inn marina. The dinghy dock is near and rowing to it was a breeze. No wet pants or shoes. We walked in town, followed the his...
Sept 28th Monhegan Island
From Rockland we decided to head to Monhegan Island. Hiking trails and vistas that inspired artists such as Andrew Wyeth who had a Summer home there. We managed to get a mooring ball eventhough the space was already quite busy and we hadn't heard from the Harbor master (something that we often encou...
Sept 26th and 27th Rockland
Went from Swans Island to Rockland in constant 3ft waves. Taking the outside route was maybe a bit more wind affected, although less ledges, and shoals. We docked at the public Landing marina, right downtown. Tuesday was visiting museum day. The art museum is a gem. There are local artists and artis...
Sept 25th Swans Island
Fiona having past, we headed back out to navigate to Swans Island. After three hours or so we moored outside Burn Coat harbor. After lunch we took the dinghy to Harbor Island. Great hike around the island. The yrzils are marked by discarded buoys. Upon putting the dinghy out in the water we realized...
Sept 22nd to Sept 24th Acadia and Fiona
22nd rain all day, anchored just fine 23rd walk near visitor center, very nice cariage walk, lunch in town and grocery shopping. We returned with the 2pm bus as we anticipated stronger winds in late afternoon. Happily, wind was comfortable enough that we slept pretty well. Fiona was really rough in...
Sept 21st Mount Desert Island - Acadia NP
Night was much better but in anticipation of more fowl weather we thought better than subjecting ourselves to a rocky night at the mooring ball in Southwest, so after fueling up at the marina nearby (what a nice price drop compared to Nova Scotia: over two dollars cheaper) we headed to Somes Sound f...
Sept 20th Bar Harbor
Monday night was horrible, no sleep from the rocking, rain didn't help. We had to hold down to our cup to have coffee. Around 10am we ventured out to set to the dinghy dock. we realized that with the strong wind one of our solar panels went off. We needed to buy additional rare earth magnets to secu...
Sept 18th and 19th to Southwest Harbor Maine
Lockeport was a well protected harbor, and the question was how to time our crossing to Maine. After much calculations looking in particular at wave size, tide, and weather overall, we decided to leave Sunday evening Lockeport directly to Roque Island Maine. This meant an overnight trip, 100 nm..som...
Sept 17th to Lockeport, Nova Scotia
Seven twenty AM departure. Good weather. Waters were two to three feet high crossing Mahone Bay, but once we followed the Nova Scotia coast we were in one to two feet waves. We autotuned the autopilot early on and it did work, however, we still have a discrepancy between the bearing and the heading...
Sept 8th to. Sept. 16th Shining Waters Marina
Returned from Philadelphia on the 8th in the afternoon. We stayed on the mooring ball overnight. Friday moved to dock. Sandy was delayed doing the installation as he hadn't received the equipment. This he hadn't told us about it. Before 2pm they showed up and it took until 7pm to install. Saturday m...
Sep. 1st Flight to Philadelphia
The installation for our new autopilot was a bust! The equipment ordered wasn't correct and missing cables prevented even a partial installation. So Sandy reordered and we hope to have it in place by the end of next week. So we thought that we could either put around St Margaret bay or travel home....
Aug. 30th and 31st Shining Waters Marine
Arrived with strong wind, but managed docking. Cleaned up a bit, including some loads of laundry. Wednesday, pretty excited to have the installation for our new autopilot system...however, it wasn't to be. Wrong ECU unit and missing cables. New order, expedited, but that delays it another week proba...
Aug. 29th Franks George Island
After a very nice morning at Mahone Bay, we took back the boat. The sea was pretty good, and the weather really nice. It took three hours to get across. We are going back north since we hope to have our autopilot redone on Wednesday. We tried first Luke Island but the boats moored, and the exposed s...
Aug. 28th and 29th Mahone Bay
Arrived in late afternoon to Mahone Bay where we had reserved a mooring ball. We stopped to fuel at Lunenburg Yacht Club as Mahone Bay doesn't have fueling dock. Next morning, we walked to have a crêpe breakfast in town, and hiked the very nice trail to the lake. Very lucky with the weather. We like...
Aug. 27th and 28th - Lunenberg
Arrived without problems in Lunenburg Harbour. We are at a mooring ball, we had difficulty finding it, but it was very easy to attach to. We rode our dinghy just across the harbor. Weather was quite warm, and we walked in town with an ice cream. It is a very colorful town as the old style cottages a...
Aug 26th Peggy's cove - Aspotogan
Left Halifax on a nice clear day. Harvey saw a shark in the harbor. We went by Peggy's cove and its famous light house. Crossed to anchor but the area was full of mooring ball. We went further around the peninsula and the anchor held well, but the night was sleepless as the boat rocked relentlessly....
Aug 23rd To 26th Halifax
The cruising to Halifax was a bit bumpy but we made it in good time by riding at 2200 rpm which is more than our usual 1600. Our first assigned slip at the Queen wharf turned out not ideal as there were no water..and when you don't have shower available at a marina it's nice to have water. So we ask...
August 21st to Liscomb Lodge and Aug 22nd to Wolves Island Cove
Aug. 21st, stayed at the dock at Liscomb Lodge. It was very calm, convenient and even took a dip in the pool and hot tubs. We top our luxury day with dinner at the restaurant. The docking was cheap Can$ 57, but the restaurant a bit more pricey, but worth it. Miles: 46 Total nm: 1,492 Aug. 2nd. We ar...
Aug 20th Yankee Cove
Less than 5 hrs to cross the the Chedabucto Bay. Waves were in the 3 ft range passed Canso, but soft rolling. Once whitehead we were in protected and calm water. We anchored in Yankee coveand after lunch did a very nice dinghy ride around. There are many aqua farms but well indicated. We surprised a...
Aug 19th Arichat, Jerseyman Island
Named after the migrants from the isle of Jersey near the coast of France, who settled here in the 18th century. It is a nice protected harbor. Since the strong winds were causing high waves on the Atlantic coast, we opted for a second short hop today. It worked out well, and we took the dinghy out...
Aug. 18th Poulamon Bay
Past the lock at St Peter's in a foggy morning. Short trip in the Lennox Passage where we chose to anchor given the wind from the South. We anchored near the Grandique point park at Poulamon bay. Took the dinghy to the park and enjoyed stretching our legs, good thing we had deep wood insect repellen...
Aug. 16th and 17th St Peter's
Given the wind and rain forecast for Wednesday we decided to stay at St Peter's marina for two nights. Good thing we did as it rained heavily Wednesday. Tuesday afternoon we took a nice walk and Wednesday we visited the Denys museum and did some grocery shopping. Miles: 16 Total nm: 1,389
Aug. 15th Pellier island
Short three hour trip to Pellier island to anchor. Left Baddeck after Harvey found new screws and bolts. Weather was grey leaving town but at our anchor in Pellier island the wind progressively quiet down and the sun showed up. We went on a SUP ride around. Had dinner outside, but had to turn inside...
Aug. 13th and 14th - Baddeck
Nice ride to Baddeck harbor. The bridge clearance was 27ft and our boat went under without needing an opening. Current under it was quite strong. We moored with the Yacht club, but first mistook mooring balls from another marina, andwe had to move. Their mooring balls are easy to set as they provide...
Aug. 12th Orangedale - Bras d'Or
Left mid morning to anchor near Orangedale, 3 hrs away. Beautiful scenic ride, the lake is surrounded by hilly wooded and natural shores. The North Basin where we anchored is peaceful and protected. We visited the Orangedale train museum. Orangedale doesn't have passenger or freight train any longer...
Aug 10th and 11th Bras d'Or- Crammond Islands
Left D'Escousse anchorage to start our trip to the Bras d'Or lake. We had to wait a while to enter the St Peter's canal and going through the lock, but it went well, there was no need to have a bridge opening since the clearance that day was 21 ft. We headed to Crammond Islands where we had set up a...
Aug. 9th D'Escousse in the Lennox Passage
Rain, rain and more rain this morning. Met Melissa from the Drakes Dream who was docked ahead of us. She and her husband Jerry are also doing the Down East Circle. Talked about when we would leave and given the weather and the tide, it was best after 13h. We left closer to 14h, cleared up..we were h...
Aug. 8th Port Hawkesbury
Left Ballantynes Cove after refueling. St George Bay was at time rocky with the wind on the beam. Overall, pretty smooth cruising. The Canso Lock was easy, didn't have to hook, wrap or catch anything, the lockmaster came to us and with his very long pole caught our stern line which he tied. Ten minu...
August 7th - Ballantynes Cove
Left early as our rafting neighbors (Steve and Pat of the Karen D) needed to leave by 6 am to reach PEI with a good enough wind window. So we saw the sun rise:) It turned out to be good also for us, eventhough we were going in the opposite direction, the SW wind was also building up particularly as...
August 6th Pictou Island
Pictou Island is not far from the shore, 11 nm, but has no electricity, or trash collection. Maybe 20 people live year round. It is popular for fishing particularly lobster trapping in May and June. The harbor is very small, most boats leave in the evening, so when you arrive at the harbor you need...
August 5th Malagash point
Philip left this morning. It was so great to be able to spend some time together. Leaving the bay was a bit choppy but calmed down after a short while. We did good time to Malagash point, however, with the North East wind expected overnight we decided to go a bit further near Brule Point in 15ft of...
Aug. 3rd and 4th Prince Edward Island
Wednesday, we drove to Charlottetown as the farmers market is open then. Disappointed. The harbor at Charlottetown was nice and lively, we walked and learned about the Confedaration that was negotiated in Charlottetown in 1864. It ledto the Canadian Confedaration création in 1867. We had a lunch of...
August 2nd Summerside PEI
Philip and Harvey took the boat from Bouctouche to Summerside on Prince Edward Island, à 40 nm that took over five hours. Meanwhile, I drove to it stopping in Shediac to do some grocery shopping. The weather was windier than expected for the trip over to PEI, but hopefully it will be dry enough for...
July 31st and August 1st Bouctouche
A 8 hours and an half trip from Baie du Vin to Bouctouche. We were ready for a marina stay, and particularly excited that Philip was joining us for a few days. After showers, and rincing off the boat we were a bit more presentable for Jean. Jean, the harbor master, keeps a photo album of people and...
July 30th Baie du Vin
A seven hour trip today, calmer water overall...except when ahead of rain storms, which we experienced a few of...and into the Miramichi bay. We were happy to tuck into the Baie du Vin. As we turned we saw a good twenty boats beached or anchored near the sand beach. It is New Brunswick Day and every...
July 29th Shippagan NB
We expected rough cruising today and we got it. 12kt head wind wasn't to bad until two hours into it when gust and current into Baie des Chaleurs rendered the water more random. Bigger waves were causing a few things to fall around us. Closer to Miscou we finally had more predictable waves. We even...
July 28th Perce and St Therese de Gaspe
We were lucky with the weather and decided to take advantage of this as the rain is in the forecast for tomorrow. We went up to Percé and cruised around the Ile Bonaventure that is a bird sanctuary. The Roche Percé is the most famous view of Canada and we took many pictures. We circon-navigated the...
July 27th Le Parc du Forillon
We were told that maybe a small harbor on the bay side of the parc would accommodate us. The weather was pretty good and we followed the peninsula. Admiring the cliff and the light house. We were stopped by the Canadian Mounted police (on boat). They checked our identity, after showing our ArriveCan...
July 26th Riviere au Renard
Easy ride around the Gaspe. Got a nice slip at the marina and refilled the fuel tanks...don't ask about the bill. A quiet evening, we walked by the pier and we were surprised to see that the catch being shipped was sea cucumbers. Miles: 41 Total nm: 855
July 25th Rivière Madeleine
Left around 8h00 in a foggy St Lawrence. We are getting more adept at following a route with the radar. The weather conditions were pretty good, waves at a minimum. We had thought about going to the wall at Grande Vallée but the thought of braving wind and storm plus a possible tough tie up at the w...
July 24th Crossing to St Anne des Monts
Left extra early to get the best of the weather to cross from the South side of the St Lawrence to the north side. 70 nm, over 8 hours, making this our long day. Glad the weather held. When we arrived in the marina they told us they couldn't put us on the marina floating dock and we had to be on the...
July 23rd Baie de St Pancrace
We cruised six hours to St Pancrace. Weather and wind were good, until we entered the bay de St Pancrace when we kept on opening and closing the flybridge front panel as small showers sprinkled us a bit. Dusing our crossing we saw our first large whale, we beleive a fin backwhale, several porpoises,...
July 22nd Colombier
Woke up with a calm day and light fog surrounding us. We left before 10:00 am, as the fog was still hanging here and there. We saw Minke whales, Balugas, Harbor porpoises and harbor seals. Hard to avoid them. We were stopped by the coast guards who reminded us about distance rules with marine mammal...
July 20th and 21st Tadoussac
We arrived on Wednesday after a quiet 60 nm trip from La Baie. We had chosen to stay on a mooring ball in the bay. We went grocery shopping, took a shower, and chit-chat with our friends of the Rincon Feliz who had taken a slip. After a glass of wine we were back to our boat. Thursdays 21st was a if...
July 19th La Baie
Thirty four miles North to La Baie....rain came quickly. We needed to move our command post to inside the boat for a good part. Visibility was still good and the beauty of the hills was even more atmospheric with the low clouds. We arrive with a break to la Baie Haha, what a name. It poured as we we...
July 18th Baie Eternite and Trail to Fjord National Park
Jim and Sylvia have a very nice Krogen boat with a powerful dinghy. They nicely offered to go on their dinghy to the Baie Eternite which is 6 nm away. We had a nice ride there. We hiked up the St Mary's statue. It said 3.3 km each way but it definitely felt much longer. A hard hike up and a steep de...
July 17th Anse St Jean on the Saguenay
Given the tide didn't leave until lunch. The weather is still nice so walked up to the point to see a Minke Whale coming regularly to the surface. Adults and children all get a thrill at seeing them, they are hard to get a good picture of, but we got loads of them. The ride up the Saguenay is just v...
July 16th Tadoussac
We left the marina after filling up with diesel and a pumpout before 10am. The 40 nm trip to Tadoussac was with good weather and easy navigation. We have a slip at the marina, had to borrow extended cables for the electric split 30 was not available at the nearest post. We walked in town and around...
July 15th Cap à l'Aigle
70 nm from Quebec city, given the tide and current schedule we left at 7:00am. The weather was very nice and scenery was beautiful. We passed Chute Montmorency and a wooded mountains all along the way. We arrived at the Marina, and we had the time to walk to a small waterfall nearby and from the wha...
July 14th - 2nd day in Quebec city
Rain drove us up around 6am to close the flybridge enclosure...oops we had forgotten. We went to view an immersive exhibit of Monet painting. We really enjoyed it. This afternoon a couple of quick shopping, walking in town before another rain episode in the forecast. To celebrate the National French...
July 13th Quebec
A 6hr run to Quebec City, happily weather and tide worked in our favor. The city marina is well located. Walked in town, stopped at a restaurant. Miles: 67 Total nm: 390
July 12th Trois Rivières
Our first segment on the Saint Lawrence River went pretty well: wind from the South west gave us a good push with the current, the expected rain meant that a good 3 hours from the lower inside helm. As the saint Lawrence River enlarges, it is called Lac Saint Pierre, we got a little bit more side wa...
July 11th Sorel
Our ride North was very quiet this Monday morning. We arrived at the Marina Saurel in Sorel Tracy around noon. We are now on the Saint Lawrence River, no more locks..but currents, tides and commercial traffic; another challenge. We took care of laundry and called family. The weather was pleasant, an...
July 10th Saint Ours
Started our trip today around 10:00 am with three locks in a row, a flight, that brought us down to the Chambly Basin. This was the end of the Chambly canal. We continued North for 22 miles to the canal Saint Ours, which is its unique lock. We paid $40 to pass through and paid to stay overnight at t...
July 9th Chambly
We were roused out of our morning leisurely start by the lockmaster. When asked if we could defer he answered that it was now or noon...we speed up as you can guess. When we arrived in the lock we were handed lines by the lock employees...nice and easier than grabbing lines off the wall. We paid the...
July 8th Saint Jean sur Richelieu Quebec
Made it to Canada this morning. We had completed our ArriveCan app and had no contrebande on board.. Rode up to Ile aux Noix. Unhappily Fort Lennox wasn't open due to restoration. Anchored, had a nice lunch. We continued on Rivière Richelieu and dock before the bascule bridge. We did some grocery sh...
July 7th Rouses Point
Last segment on lake Champlain and in the USA! Stopped for lunch at Monty Bay where we tested our anchor retrieval with the orange ball. AND it worked 💪 We arrived at Rouses Point marina to be right next to the 24/7 pumpout station. There were no reason to delay any further replacing the Macerator...
July 5th and 6th Plattsburgh
We are staying at Boat Basin Marina. We were lucky that the two packages mailed as General Delivery at the post office were ready to pick up, thanks USPS priority mail! The AIS unit is working, just a ground screw missing that we hope to fix as soon as we have the specs. Sout wind really picked up i...
July 4th Valcour Island
Nice weather, we pinch ourselves, will it last? Heading to Valcour Island, "the Jewel of the lake". Very nice hike around the island. Returned to boat in afternoon and boats had really added up. Protected cove with the option of seeing Plattsburgh's fireworks? A bit concerned that we could be swingi...
Port Douglas July 3rd
Port Douglas is right across Burlington on the NY side of Lake Champlain. It is protected from North and West winds which are expected to blow this afternoon. Anchored in 18 feet of water. The lake depth is incredibly deep over 300 feet and it drops very sharply. We hope not to drag into deeper wate...
Willsboro Bay July 2nd
Anchored at the bottom of the bay, protected from the wind. We paddled on our Sups..put the feet in the water still a bit too cold for a full swim. Saturday of 4th of July weekend is busy and many people are taking their watercrafts for a spin. Saw some local fireworks, warned about pulling a list m...
Shelburne Bay July 1st
Hard leaving the fuel dock at Burlington Harbor Marina with a South wind pushing our boat right against the concrete dock. Anchored in a protected bay an hour South. Enjoyed a nice hike, with great view of the bay. It rained overnight but comfortable wind remained. Miles: 5 Total nm: 160
Burlington Vermont
Burlington Harbor Marina, nice, new and convenient to downtown. Grocery shopping was our first requirement, walk to the co op market used a special cart labeled for the marina. Next morning the South wind really picked up and getting to the fuel dock and the pumpout was tough but leaving was really...
Kingsland Bay State Park June 29th
Anchored in the bay. Passed many private mooring balls not indicated on the guide. Dinghy to the dock at the former Summer Camp for l'école Champlain. Nice short trail with nice views of the bay and lake. It is always nice to keep an eye on your anchored boat. We took our SUP out, of course the wind...
Westport June 28th
Short hop to Westport Marina where a package was expected to fix our AIS. Unhappily, the new cable wasn't the solution so we went to the post office to mail the whole unit. Hopefully they can fix it for us, so we can get it back before leaving the US. We took a walk in town, with nice historical bui...
North Harbor - Lake Champlain Maritime Museum
JUNE 27TH. We moored near the dock to the museum. The museum is free, not all exhibits were opened but the ones we saw were very well done. We had lunch at the Red Mill right by the small air strip. Returned to the mooring ball with strong wind. We waited the rain passed before heading to Westport,...
Arnold Bay
Cruised North, before Fort Henry anchored in the bay, but after lunch realized that we weren't able to hold our anchor was dragging badly. So much mud and grass that I had to use the pole to remove the huge blob. Moved 1 hr North to Arnold Bay, that was also protected from the South wind. Popular sw...
Visiting Fort Ticonderoga June 24th and 25th
Dinghy ride to the ramp dock nearby. Short walk to the Fort entrance. $50.00 for two people kind of steep but when in Rome. Loved the visit, great museum, musket demonstration franco English as the year of visit was 1759 before the English took the fort (Carillon) in August of 1759. Knowledgeable st...
Fort Ticonderoga June 23rd
After a rainy morning, we left Whitehall,NY for our last lock. Passed the lock, we entered Lake Champlain, that navigates more like a river at this point. It is bordered by wooded hills and marshy grasses. The green markers switch side and it is now on our right. We are tonight anchored near Fort Ti...
Whitehall June 22nd
Five locks today! Left Schuylerville before 9am and arrived at the municipal dock at Whitehall after 2pm: 50 amp power and water. We are the only one on the wall. Beautiful navigation, peaceful and rural. Kept the mast down as many of the bridges were often below 18 feet. Miles: 32 Total nm: 84
Schuylerville June 21st
After passing lock 5, we took advantage of a free dock at Hudson River Crossing dock. We walked to town following the old Champlain canal tow path. We return packed as mules with groceries and a bottle of Elderberry wine made locally...to be tested:) Update wine surprisingly quite good, chilled. Mil...
Stillwater - Saratoga Historic National Park
After a very quiet night at anchor south of lock C1, we headed for the lock for the 9am opening. Due to invasive fish locks c1 and c2 have opening for north bound at set time, and once there you have to go up and down twice! Between the current, and the wind lock conditions were rough. We skipped Me...
Champlain Canal
Day two, June 18th 2022 We are going North from New Baltimore, NY, 20 miles South of Albany on the Hudson River.
