We decide not to go back to NYC and work on some things on the boat. The weather is still depressingly ugly. Dark, windy and overcast.
Denise stops by and tells us Martin went out fishing with some members of the club. They are allowed to keep one bass per person, although they caught quite a few.

My project for this morning is defrosting the refrigerator. It has been awhile, I can barely get the door of the freezer open. Later Denise stops by again with some fish for us.
We have one major impediment to us returning home. The Champlain Canal Locks are closed, or should I say they have not opened yet for the season. They have had a lot of rain in Northern New England and the high water is keeping them from opening the locks. We have a bunch of friends ahead of us waiting and I see no reason to rush up the Hudson to wait. Once our mast is down we will be charged for a 55 foot vessel not a 36 foot for dockage.
We walk to Frank & Sals a fabulous Italian deli and do some shopping.
Later we head to the Great Kills Yacht Club bar for happy hour. There is a group of Loopers that are on the other dock that we were not aware of and they have also been here a couple days. An interesting group of people. We have a good time visiting with them. Loopers are people who are traveling the Great Loop; east coast through the Great Lakes, down the Mississippi, Gulf Coast and Florida. Of course it starts pouring again.
