Stopped to Remove Radar

We put another 95 miles under the keel today. We departed out of Haverstraw before 7:00 and rolled into Coeymans Landing Marina today at 4:00. We did the entire day at just 10 mph and burned 152 gallons of fuel (.63 mpg; 16.4 gallons per hour).

You just could not have asked for a nicer day on the water. We had bright sunshine with a cool crisp morning. We did not move from the pilothouse to the flybridge until almost 1:00. Passing West Point this morning was stunning. It was just a peaceful, beautiful backdrop to gorgeous autumn morning.

We saw a good bit of traffic heading south; mostly trawlers and sailboats. However, we did pass a very nice 90-foot Azimut on the river today. Other than that, we just enjoyed the relaxing trip up the river.

We have a bit of work to do in the morning. We need to remove the radar and mast light in order to reduce our height to clear the bridges on the Erie and Oswego Canals. So we will have a late departure tomorrow.

Glad to see the positive comments on the forum. I’ll try to post some more pictures again tomorrow.


We cruised the whole day between 950 and 1020 rpms
