Hop-O-Nose Marina
Catskill, New York
Marc- We awoke to dense fog at our PYC mooring that was more like attaching to a floating island of weeds than a standard mooring. Fortunately we had not planned on leaving super early since we only needed to travel four hours to reach Catskill where we will have our mast lowered. By 08:30 the fog had lived and we had finished breakfast. The sun came out and all was well. We even had a favorable tidal current for the first half of the trip. I called the marina in Catskill to confirm that they could do our mast and have and overnight slip and the manager responded that they could not get to us until MONDAY MORNING. Hopes of a quick stay were dashed.
Fortunately this little town is alive. It has a growing artist community and has the annual artistic cats display on Main Street, I went wild and took photos of every single cat statue. I also picked up a few items at a local market. Later in the afternoon we tackled taking the sails down, removing the boom and some of the rigging, Tomorrow need to build the support staging for the mainmast. I have brought along our Lucy III mast supports from previous trips. The mast removal requires the tedious job go disconnecting all go the 30 or so wires, The radar alone has 20 small wires.
More cats in the morning.
