The compas is reading North, yipee! Before taking off this morning from 79th St, were there was a wake coming from our mooring ball, we went for a pumpout. (Yup, it's as gross as it seems, we pump out our poop). Well the dock is over 10 feet high, the curren, tide and waves were all pushing us towards the dock. It was rough, very rough. Then we had some "issues" getting off again.
Obviously we made it, because we're heading up the Hudson. As soon as you pass NYC you start seeing the mountains. It's spectacular. The river is deeper than the ocean was, a lot deeper. There are 2 train tracks on either side. They come out off tunnels from the sides of the mountains, so picturesque.
The mountains were great until we had to walk to the gas station for oil. My calves were burning by the time we made it to the top. Ok so I haven't exactly gotten into tip top shape yet...but it happening slowly.
We should be home by early next week. I can't wait to see you all.
