Poughkeepsie

Water Temperature 71 F

We are on our way at 8:45 for a relatively short day to Poughkeepsie to Shadows Marina, which is a new stop for us.

 

Heading down Catskill Creek

 It is right on the Hudson River and there have been some complaints about wakes, but this is a weekday and summer is over, so I am not too concerned. In the afternoon we have a series of showers before we get to Shadows. We tie up on the face dock with the help of their dock master, Keith. An hour later the face dock is full with 6 sailboats, many we have previously cross paths with. 

 

Shadows Marina Face Dock

We have Diana and Alain over for wine and cheese. Made dinner on the boat for a change. There is a cabin cruiser close to us, on our end of the dock, who has had his outside speakers playing country music since we got there, not real loud, but enough that it is getting rather annoying listening to it in the cockpit. I thought I saw the owner on his boat “Hooked on a Feeling” and I knock on the side, hoping to asking to turn off his outside speakers, but there is no response. Maybe I just imaged, I saw someone on the boat. I turn on the reverse cycle heat pump so we can not hear it in the boat. We are in bed shortly after “sailors midnight”.
