The sun is shining!
The Rondout Yacht Basin is a sweet little marina run by two
brothers who really take pride in customer service. The place has good,
floating docks, clean showers, two coin operated washers and dryers (a bonus
when you have more than one load to do), a pool, a playground and a small café
open on the weekends. It is located up
the Rondout, a side creek off the Hudson, about a mile walk uphill to the
town of Kingston, but easily reachable by dinghy just across the way.

After lunch, Tom, Carol, Tim, Millie and I, jumped in our
dinghy and headed over to Kingston for the afternoon. Dinghy tie up was at the Kingston City dock
and cost $10, whether it be for an hour or a day. Upon our arrival, Carol and Tom went left and
we went right, planning to meet up later for drinks and a bite to eat.

Kingston is a beautiful little town with friendly people and
some cute shops and restaurants. Tim and
I started at the Visitor’s Center, took a walk looking in some shops, went to
the Maritime Museum and ended up at a waterfront restaurant watching a high
school crew race with Millie tucked under the table. We called Carol and Tom who came down to meet
us and we had a delightful time, the sun was shining, the drinks and appetizers
were good and the race was entertaining.

| Overall, very dog friendly except for this one spot. |
