Nyack to Catskill Demast

I walked to the 125th Street Harlem train station, then to Tarrytown, and then to Nyack.  Did groceries at Nyack Fresh Market and departed the mooring at 14:30. 

There was a lot of debris on the water due to the high waters.  Some logs were over ten feet. 

Headed to Haverstraw Marina to buy 8 gallons of diesel and 1.5 gallons of gas.  I attached the dinghy to the dinghy tow. 

I continued to the Hop-O-Nose Marina in the Catskills. 

I tried to anchor, but was invited to dock at the marina.  

I removed the sails and boom, attended a Melanoma seminar, and it started to drizzle.  I tidy up some lines.  Made supper of the salmon.  

Got up early at six and finished preparing for demasting.  I can keep the Bimini up and have solar panels, as well as more space inside.  

I waited all day for the crew to demast and completed the task at 14:30.  It took less than an hour.  I moved the boat back to my dock to finish securing the mast.
