Catskill, NY

We left Lock1 Marina at noon and arrived in Catskill at 4:00, a relatively short ride, to an ongoing party. The people were very friendly and mostly hardcore vacationers with one thing in mind .... get up late, start slow then party until dawn. I tried to update this blog, but Marty and Eve from Menasquam, NJ brought over rum cokes and that was all it took to close the laptop for another day. Met Cap'n Steve who has been bringing his sail boat for many years from Catskill to Palm Beach, Fl for chartering. He told us all about the numerous pitfalls in Barnegat (graveyard)Bay and when I arrived at Barnegat Bay I realized he was not exaggerating at all. It was a graveyard of shoals, fast currents, rip tides you name it, it was there. Maybe the worst day of our trip except for Verrazano Bridge or the night in Kingston, sleeping without A/C. What could be worse than no A/C while on a camping trip ??



I got a little side tracked but Catskill was a fun little town. Nice place to visit but I guess the skiing adds a whole new dimension that we did not see.
