Highland, NY to Coeyman, NY



I have no sunrise or sunset picture to post since Mr. Sun has been in hiding. We docked at Mariner's Restaurant for the night.  Our visibility averaged 1.5 to 2 miles on this leg of the journey. Andrew and I woke up and were underway by 6:00am. We had our sites set on Coeyman's Landing since they were the cheapest fuel by 50 cents and their dockage was cheap for the Hudson River. Andrew did our calculations and we knew we could make it without a problem. We had 20 gallons in each tank when we pulled up at Noon, perfect. I did the driving while Andrew worked up on the flybridge using his newly installed 1k inverter, his lifesaver for working on the hook. Mr. Sabastian has been running a fever for the last 2 days and knew it had to be strep. The wonderful owners of Coeyman's Landing lent us their car and off went Sabastian and myself in search of a Dr. We were right it was strep. I am hoping the meds kick in quick and he feels better soon.
 We are now 14 miles away from Troy and the fun adventure of locking is ahead of us. I have to say that making it to Coeyman's Landing was like hitting a gold mind. This has to be, for us, our first 5 star rating of a marina. We picked up diesel, our 10 day lock pass and  2 fender balls in their ship store, which is the first real marine store we saw on the Hudson. The laundry was free! You all know free laundry is my favorite perk. Andrew, Paisley and I went for a dip in the hot tub on their deck and enjoyed watching the rain fall on the roof above us. Sabastian enjoyed some quiet time watching cartoon network since we had cable at the dock.

This is one of the many gorgeous estates that we passed.
