Spent the day waiting for Steve to arrive with the starter. We sat drinking coffee watching all of the other boats head out and up ErieCanal. Erik decided to move the boat so we could access the water so he could try cleaning the boat some. Erik washed the outside of the boat and Renee worked on the inside to prepare for our guests, Erik’s dad and Felicitas. Renee biked to the hardware store to pick up a few things.
After lunch and a short nap we took Riva for a walk down the waterfront and Steve showed up! Before long we heard the wonderful sound of the engine firing up. Steve was very fair with the bill and it was less than expected. Renee made some calls and we shoved off pretty quickly to try to get to shady Harbor before they shut down the fuel pumps.

| Turning off of the Mohawk and onto the Hudson River the Catskill Mountains said hello |
Erik gave the now running motors lots of petroleum as we cruised down the Hudson at nearly 20 mph almost the entire ride. We had one last lock to go through shortly after turning onto the Hudson River.

Last lock through of our journey this year
Hudson River Federal #1 |

| The capital city of Albany |

| Started seeing multiple large vessels |
We did not make it in time to fuel up tonight but we will be first in line in the morning. We walked Riva and explored a little then made some taco salad for dinner. After dinner we went to the pool for a quick dip. It was not near as hot as it had been but nonetheless we jumped in the cool refreshing pool for a few 🏊♀️.
Showers and a load of laundry, followed by a few phone calls and ice cream ( of course), before calling it a night.💤
