Still alongside At Castelton on the Hudson

This morning was the first that we slept past 0600 in over a week. We continue to wait for 2 PDQ's that are still in the locks. James of the "fix it" group is aboard one of the boats with the parts that are needed to repair some of our issues. We have another problem, we have found water under the floor boards in the galley. We are thinking that there is a fresh water leak, we have communicated the issue to James and we are hopeful that he will be able to get to us tomorrow and deal with the issues.

We took a Cab to the closest Target store late this afternoon. My small camera has given up the ghost, so I wanted to get a replacement, as well as pick up a few supplies. damn near cost more for the cab ride than the stuff we bought.

We have an appointment in Kingston NY to change the oil, oil filters as well as the fuel filters as well as a generator service.

We are hoping that the water is not a big deal and we can get the propane fixed to allow us to get on our way.

We are beside an Amtrack rail line with HIGH speed trains, which are great for the early morning wakewup call,

We are hoping that we get James onto the boat tomorrow and we can proceed to NYC.

More later.
