| Uncle Sam bridge over Catskill Creek; Samuel Wilson of Catskill became the personification of the US government in 1917 on posters recruiting young men for the military. |

| Esopus Lighthouse. These lighthouses seem more like houses with a light on top; they look like they would be much more comfortable to live in than many others we have seen. |
Left Kingston this morning under heavy skies and in cool temperatures. Wasn't raining, so decided to move north another 20 miles. With the push from the current it only took us a couple of hours. One of the other boaters who made the same trip today said they felt like they needed a seat belt, almost got whip lash (tongue in cheek of course, none of us are going more than 11 or perhaps a screaming 12 miles per hour). Very pretty trip, we were still travelling past hills with trees, some houses, few small towns. Catskill is a fair size town located up Catskill Creek. This creek is not large, but it is deep enough for larger boats, and there are 3 marinas and a yacht club here. Walked uptown this afternoon, pretty town with decorative painted cats along the streets and in some shop windows.

Dinner on the boat tonight; we plan to travel up to Waterford, the beginning of the Erie Canal, tomorrow.
