Day 267
We started our day with cloudy skies and periods of light
rain, but after being underway less than an hour the rain gave way to an
occasional peek at the sun. I took this
picture of a train crossing the railroad bridge while leaving our anchorage
this morning.
This is the Saugerties Lighthouse, first constructed in 1869,
its coast guard service ended in 1954. A
non-profit organization purchased the lighthouse in 1986, restored it, and
offers two bed and breakfast rooms, and public tours.
We saw a few deer on our way up river today.
This is the Hudson-Athens Lighthouse, first constructed in 1874; it marks a sandy ridge known as Middle Ground flats and acts as an aid to navigation of the river. Its unique shape was designed to protect it from ice floes and river debris.

Yes, this is beautiful country, and have seen several deer, their light brown coat really stands out against the tree's. Sure hope they have fuel or we may have to stay here this summer and float back down in the fall.
Well floating isn't so bad, and great country, the lighthouses are great to see, really been humid of a morning and hot in day time, when it hits the 90s there's a breeze starts blowing, very quite this morning, Inca and I are on the portch made coffee, 7am dick is still in bed.
