July 4th, 2016 Appletree Bay, Burlington, VT I awoke to sunrise this morning and took a few pictures. I had noticed the wind had changed and was now blowing North West right into the protected bay and the surf was quite large. Returning to my hammock to get some more rest, I was wondering what…
July 5th, 2016 Town Farm Bay, Charlotte, VT I awoke this morning on Appletree Bay Beach under a rising sun that immediately heated up the inside of my tent so I had to get out. It was early, way too early. I set to making breakfast when Gordo, the homeowner came out to say Goodbye…
July 9th 2016 Fort Ann, NY – Lock 9 After a night of rain, I awoke early to a break in the weather. I took the opportunity to pack up the tent, but then I realized I had tied my kayak off to my friends boat. They were still sleeping and I needed to get…
July 13th 2016 Marina One – Warterford, NY So much happened after writing yesterday’s blog. First I met the Captain of the Twin Engine Pontoon Boat. He is a Department of Environmental Protection (DEP for short) employee and he explained why the twin engines; Redundancy. Redundancy is needed when working alongside the Damns he explained….
July 14th 2016 Waterford, NY No, that isn’t a mistake, I’m not much further south than last night, but instead of a nice cool hotel room, I’m back to camping in 90% humidity. So we packed up this morning and headed back to the kayak at Marina One. Loaded up Lex-T-Sea, said Goodbye to Arlene…
July 15th, 2016 Castleton on the Hudson, NY Waiting out yesterday’s storm proved to be a good choice. I really liked the Waterford City Docks and met so many fellow boaters that it felt like home. Saying goodbye to my new and old friends, I hit the water. The weather turned very favorably today so it…
July 17th 2016 Catskill, NY What a party it was last night! When the band quit playing I headed to Sal’s boat to turn in, but no one was around so I threw my gear aboard and went to walk around a bit. I ran into the guy who had told me earlier to tend…
July 22nd 2016 Peekskill, NY This morning started off with a call from New 12 Westchester looking to do a story on me. I made arrangements to meet the reported in Cold Spring, NY before I launched. Upon arriving in Cold Spring, I stopped in at Hudson River Expeditions to say hi. Hudson River Expeditions…
July 29th 2016 Yorktown Heights, NY I’ll be honest, it feels weird to have my kayak out of the water today. I took advantage of the break though and gave her a good bath. Even a kayak starts to get slimy after being in the water for 27 days and almost as many nights. I…
August 3rd 2016 Yorktown Height, NY My last night in my old neighborhood. It was a rather busy day. We scored some of that food I’d been looking for in the last place we looked (wink wink). The Daily Voice interviewed me today or rather tonight, just as I sat down to eat dinner. Then…
