Day 11 - Sat. June 20, 2009




We continued to move closer to NY City and ducked into the Kingston Municipal Dock in Kingston, NY. (Lighthouse at left is the Hudson Athens)
The rain let up long enough for Barb and I to get into the dock and get every thing squared away for our stay. Even with the heavy rain we knew we were at the right place. The people working the marina were friendly and good natured even in the less than perfect weather. We dined at the closest restaurant to the dock due to the heavy down poor and it was delightful. There was a two hour spell late in the afternoon when Barb and I walked around in our rain gear and took in the Hudson River Maritime Museum. We found it interesting informative and entertaining. The town itself is quaint colorful and full of restaurants. Not sure if we will move on tomorrow or stay an extra day. (Lighthouse to the right is Saugerties and the one to the left is Rondout)
