7/4/24 - Kingston to New Hamburg NY (Whites On The Hudson Marina)- Independence Day and conclusion of this years journey

 While drinking our morning coffee we checked the weather and saw 95-99% chance of rain at 12-1pm.  Our original plan was to hang out in Kingston till about 11 before leaving as Whites would not be ready for us until 1pm.  With the impending rain we decided to go ahead and head for Whites about 9am. Renee drove the car down so Emile and Falicitas could get a boat ride. More nice homes , beautiful mountain views , some threatening clouds, and a few sprinkles but not a bad cruise.  Renee was waiting at the fuel dock when Erik arrived.  Since no one was at the marina yet we tied off at the fuel dock as there was no obvious open slip available(or big enough) for us.  Erik made omelets, bacon, and toast and Renee had stopped at Half-moon Cafe for coffee and a couple pieces of chocolate and cinnamon “Babka” to share 😋❤️. Shortly after brunch Don arrived and guided us to our spot where we would be leaving Happy Destiny until they haul her out.  We walked the marina a little, began packing some things, took the enclosure down, and napped a bit until dinner time.  We headed to Poughkeepsie for dinner and had a very good dinner with VERY large servings at the Palace Diner.  Then drove into town and watched the fireworks. Fortunately the storms held off and we had a wonderful, but long day.


Heading off for a final cruise of the year

Friday we were up early and packed everything up and got our girl ready to be stored till next year.  We sadly got on the road leaving our home away from home…until next year when we will continue to trudge our road(and waterways) of happy destiny!
