Day 92, 8.27.18,

With morning mist still on the water, I pop my head out of the salon. There is a small sailboat without mast slowly motoring by. We strike up a conversation, which ends up with an offer of a ride to the grocery store. Thank you, Jeffrey!

Newly stocked, our next port of call is directly across the river. My friend Ira has parked at the Metro North train station and will join us for a few days. She'll then return to her car on the train. She's got more groceries for us, so we are doubly well-stocked! There is a pedestrian bridge over the river here (once a rail bridge) and as we depart, the police have made a strong presence at the landing and dock with reports that someone might have jumped. 

Around 1pm the current is near slack so we set out, tacking into the wind. Back and forth, zigzagging down the river. The wind dies leaving us in an anchorage near New Hamburg.
