Later we learned from Mike - the owner of Riverview Marine that the town has this community artist event seasonally which is sponsored by local businesses and at the end of the season an auction is held where the Cats are purchased. A great event that pulls the community together while also providing necessary funds for community projects.
Unfortunately when Nana and Nandad returned to NH the emergency bilge pump light was on - never a good sign! After checking down below we find that water is pouring into the starboard stern side of the boat. A call to Boat US and two hours later we discover that the outdoor shower tubing burst under the pressure of the water pump. It was with much relief that we discovered the issue and after an evaluation by Boat US and turning off the valve to the outdoor shower we could return to somewhat normal! Many thanks to Joe from Boat US and Mike from the boatyard. Nana and Nandad slept in the Vberth while the fans and the air conditioning dried out the area that got wet - fresh water leak much better that salt water !
The next morning Mike checked out the electrical panel and decided that no damage was done so Nana and Nandad continue to cruise the Hudson and head for Riverfront Marina.
A pretty tug busy pushing its cargo along the way. The river was not as busy as we had expected so after six hours cruising at 10mph NH arrives at Riverfront which is in Newburgh.
This is just one collection of debris which we encountered along the way. Lots of weeds and drift wood to avoid. Check out the beautiful house in the background.
As we pull in to dock this pretty cruiser is docked at the waterfront. Unfortunately it is no longer in operation. There are at least three large waterfront restaurants in this area so with recommendation from the local dockhand Nana and Nandad head to Captain Jacks for dinner. A beautiful evening and after a brief rain shower we were once again witness to a beautiful full arch rainbow. Mother Nature once again at its best.
New Horizon on the dock with the mountains in the foreground. Tomorrow we will head towards those mountains to dock at Liberty Landing for two days and hopefully rendezvous with The Nevins.
