CODA : on the move to become a sailboat again
23 September 2024
Castleton Boat Club, Castleton-On-Hudson, New York
Passing through the Federal Lock at Troy, NY
(Owned and operated by
the US Army Corps of Engineers).
Mast up at the end of the day on a mooring.
Marc- Sue and I went off to do some last minute food shopping at the local Hannaford's supermarket this morning. Sue helped organize the boat and then headed off to Vermont with the truck. I stayed behind to move the boat South and to get the mast raised. I never could have done this without the help of Charlie Langworthy, Mary Langworthy and a few other boaters. We left Waterford as a three boat convoy for mast raising at the Castleton Boat Club. It has always been a great deal for sailboaters but the pprices haave increased to $ 100 for use of the mast crane and $ 30 for a mooring. The Club members are most welcoming and helpful but the boaters do the actual work. A solo sailer from Montreal named Nicholas was also a major help and we raised his mast as well. Tomorrow morning we will raise White Seal's mast. I cooked up some burgers on the gas grill for dinner.

Congratulations on getting your mast up. $30 for a mooring is a bargain these days. Safe travels!
