What a great day on the Hudson  River! Rain and thunderstorms were predicted, but we only had a little rain. We left Troy this morning, thinking we would run until the storm(s) caught us, but here we are tied up in Fort Edward and only had a little rain.

So we are here. The city provides dockage with water and electric. So, what is a sailor to do? Spend money in the city…town…village. Kelley and I were walking and wondering where we were going to eat tonight. A mother and her two teenage daughters stop their car and asked if we are lost…well, where is the best place for dinner? with cocktails? yes. They sent us to the Anvil Inn. We looked over the menu and came back and told the other boaters here that it looked like a great spot.

Dinner was delicious. Kelley had steak and I had their prime rib that is a special on Friday through Sunday. And dessert, the cranberry pudding was to die for. We boaters need to support the towns that give FREE dockage by spending money in their towns. This is a must for anyone on the Champlain Canal. I might add, that one of the other boaters came by and said how great their dinner was also.

Tomorrow we leave for Whitehall. The weather should be fine in the morning, but, ugh, the afternoon… thunderstorms. Surprise, more weather!
