The farmer's market doesn't start until 4pm, so once the rains end we have hours to wait. Partial Eclipse has developed a leak. She's a skin-on-frame boat, with 10oz dacron, which seems to tear more easily than we were lead to believe. She now has many pieces of white duct tape on her. There may also be seepage through where the paint has been worn away. But all the leaks are very slow.
After picking up bourbon, corn on the cob, tomatoes, etc at the market right here in the park, we set sail. The winds were brisk most of the day while we were tied to the dock, and now they are fading. But both wind and current are in our favor, and we make the town of Hudson by dinner time.
