We left Poughkeepsie yesterday and sta ted up the Hudson again. We found a quiet little cove behind Houghtaling (rhymes with totaling) Island and spent the night there last night. We knew the current would be with us this morning so we got up early and weighed anchor at about 7:00 and headed for Troy, NY.
As we motored through Albany, we saw fellow loopers on their boat "Queen Anne's Revenge" at a marina, and stopped to visit for a few minutes after fueling up Lifestyle. We were anxious to get to Waterford and tie up on the "free dock" and spend the night before entering the Erie Canal. We rode our bikes all over Waterford and finally found a nice grocery store. We only needed a few items but to our dismay, they did not carry Beenie Weenies and furthermore, had never heard of them.!!!!! We thought we must have wandered into a foreign country. Whoever in the world has never heard of Beenie Weenies! They are a necessary staple on a boat. Otherwise, Wateford is a cute little town and very friendly. We are looking forward to breakfast in the morning at Don & Paul's where they serve eggs, toast and coffee for only $1.75. How bad can it be?
