10/29/12  Hideaway Marina, Kingston, NY

I planned on starting this fall's journal with pictures from the summer.  We spend every summer tied to a dock in front of Brian and Deb's house on the Oneida River and I never update the blog.  But when I looked at my pictures I see I have few pictures to show.

Our trip to Maine to visit with my family: Susan, Tom, Syd, Kira, Owen and sailboat f Donna & Jerry from NC cruising in ME.

Some of you may notice I have not posted car pictures or car parts, which is what we worked on for a majority of the summer.  I have a ton those pictures but I'm tired of looking at them!

Today is Monday - we're tucked in at Hideaway Marina, Kingston, NY.  It's called Hideaway for a reason - it's off Rondout Creek so we don't have to worry about debris floating down the creek to the Hudson and we're in a valley away from the highest winds.  It's a good hide away.

Vince & Dave of Hideaway Marina stop for a piece of apple pie after another busy day hauling boats.

Here we are tied to a dock and trees with our friends Mike & Liz next to us.  They traveled with us from Oneida Lake on their boat "Wanderer".
