While we were waiting out a rainy day in Haverstraw I decided that the outboard motor for the dingy was running so poorly that I could not make matters worse by tearing into it. After completely disassembling the carburetor and cleaning all pieces with acetone the little motor runs very well.
On Tuesday we rented a car and drove about 12 miles to West Point for a guided tour of the academy. The tour guide made the tour very nice. His son graduated from the Academy and he was quite proud of him and all that it stand for. We got to tour inside the chapel, what an impressive sight. The stained glass windows are full of history.
This morning we got an early start and ran 64 miles to Catskill, NY. The weather and the scenery were both beautiful. West Point was nearly as impressive from the water as the tour. The river narrows up above Haverstraw but it gets much deeper and begins to have islands scattered around. Shelly enjoyed the several lighthouses we passed. We arrived early enough to enjoy a stroll through the little village and returned for a very good Italian dinner. The little marina is very nice.

Thanks for the update. The Crymes post a comment on C'est la Vie's blog. Erine said he checks in on you all daily. Sounds like you all have quite a following at home in NC. Good luck with the Erie Canal. We are still awaiting some pictures!
