It was time to finally leave the dock after a really beautiful week in Catskill. We decided to do just a small 15NM hop north along the Hudson to Houghtailing Island, which was a nice ease back into moving again. Also or first time out as a purely motor vessel.

It was a nice easy motor to the anchorage, and when we got there I had time to do some dingy sailing around the anchorage which was a lot of fun, nice winds for it and a great little area to bounce around under sail.

Tomorrow we'll head to Troy and then after that we'll start into the locks!
