When we left Rondout Yacht Basin at 7:25 am our plan was to go to Waterford Harbor Visitors Center and tie up for the night. Waterford Yacht Basin is located very close to the Inlet to the Erie Canal. Waterford Yacht Basin does not take reservations but, assured us there was no cause for worry. There should be a place for us on their free wall, when we arrived.
About an hour away from Waterford, Jack called to confirm that we should continue on to our place on the wall at Waterford. He was told "Very sorry Captain, the wall is full". What to do??? What to do????
Our planned was to get fuel at the Troy City Dock, right before tieing up at Waterford for the night. So, we called Troy to see if they had a place for us to spend the night. They did have dockage space available so we tied up to their fuel dock and got 40 gallons of diesel fuel. What we needed was 80 gallons. But, they ran out of fuel after 40 gallons.
With no space for us in Waterford and not enough fuel at Troy, we turned around and headed back to Albany. We passed Albany NY about 8 miles back. We retraced our path back to Albany. They had fuel and a good place to dock for the night.
Albany saved us so they get their skyline picture in the blog.
