Just an update on our travels...We have gone almost 600 miles in one month...Used 136 gallons of fuel (a little over four Nautical MPG - X 1.16 for statute)...We are hoping to leave tomorrow for Liberty Landing NJ and a visit with the Manzo's...We will have to stop at least once along the way  ...The we will be leaving the boat at Croton-on-Hudson for a month while we travel to Vestal and maybe New Bern.The current plans are to return to the boat around the first of July, spend July 4th with cousin Melinda in Manhattan watching the fireworks from the roof of her apartment (by the way, Chewy will get his first train ride when we go to Manhattan)...Then Melinda will travel with us to Albany and we will continue up the Hudson River, through Lake Champlain into Canada...so far no one has walked the plank......
