This is our friend Dave, we met him in Oswego when the wind was crazy and we were putting down our mast. His words were " calm begets calm" He has been on boats his whole life. He manages a marina in Norfolk, Virginia and is a real southern gentleman willing to share all is knowledge with us. Tutty and I have enjoyed some very interesting conversations with him. He left today to go to the Albany Yacht Club. He has to fly home to work but his brother will take his boat the rest of the way home. We will drop into his marina when we reach Virginia. He is a very interesting man.
Today we went on the public transit. For four dollars you can ride all day. We ended up at the
wrong Walmart, but we had fun anyway. I even had two men stand up to give me their seat, I was in total shock. That would never happen in Toronto. The old houses here are beautiful, they our well over a 100 years old and with such character. Tomorrow, we head into the Hudson river and there are tides to deal with. We will put up the mast in Catskills about 40 miles away. Time to get back to being a true sailboat again.
You are seeing and doing so much and you are still in NY state :)
ReplyDeleteI think the Catskills is where Dirty Dancing takes place? xoxo
