Morning Delay

Ron told me the night before we'd have a lot of fog this morning. The water temperature was warm and the air temperature c c c cold folks. Really Cold! We slept with socks on our feet and a few extra quilts over us. We were toasty warm at night, but come morning???? Well, first up turns on the generator and begins the heating unit. Humm. Ron's ALWAYS first up :-)))

In the river, highly recommended is the use of a second anchor. The stern anchor. There is limited space in some of these little coves and swing would bring you aground. Plus the anchorages are so few and far between, in order for other boats to also find refuge, space is very limited. So we learned something new. In New York and CT we never had a need for a stern anchor. We had both read Chapman's suggestions prior to the trip and a few good articles written by Tom Neal in Offshore Magazine but we'd never done this before. It was a relatively simple procedure. We had no problem implementing it again, once we got over the awkwardness of doing something new.
