The Hudson River below Albany is tidal. So for about six hours each day it flows upstream, then six downstream. In the middle part of today, when we were trying to sail, it was flowing upstream, toward Albany. And the wind was in our face as well. So we tack back and forth and make very slow progress. Mid afternoon and the tide goes slack and the river widens, which is better.
We sail into Coxackie, NY, where we had enjoyed a stay on our trip upriver. Tomorrow is their farmer's market, but also lots of rain in the forecast. A good day to take a rest. We had bought a pre-baked chicken back in Waterford, and today I make soup from the carcass.
