Rip Van Ripple to Albany - Rainy

The current was strong on the river.  Bellum turned about 6:30 due to the current.  

I departed at 7:30, hoping to catch some of the slack current.  After an hour, I decided to dock in Athens for a few minutes.  







I visited the town, which was quiet.  The dock was located along a lovely park.  I plugged in the Nespresso to make coffee.

At 11:30, I departed, and by 1ish, the current changed, and I made it to Albany at 4ish.  The first few anchorages were too deep for my comfort level.  It was about 30 feet and mid-tide, so I went further to the last anchorage before the lock and anchored in 18 feet of water.  

I made a steak.

The next day was supposed to be wet, and it was.   

Spend Saturday at the anchorage with 66 mm of rain.
