Once again a beautiful sunny warm day. The pool was open
but still needs to get a bit warmer. The marina makes available a courtesy car
for Lopper's to use for groceries or eating out - have to sign up and there is a 2-hour
limit. We used the car to do some food shopping. In the afternoon the yacht
club hosted a nice cookout for both members and Lopper's, again an opportunity
to meet some of the club members. Oh, forgot to mention the marina has a great restaurant
just steps from the docks, in fact, we had dinner on board and dessert on the deck
overlooking the Hudson River.

Late morning the yacht club invited everyone at the marina to
be part of the rising of the Flags; Yacht Club, Canadian and United States, and also said the Pledge of Allegiance. Have to say it was nicely done and made everyone very proud.
The day also included the Blessing of the Fleet by the local priest. He later walked each dock
and
asked if boat owners would like to have their boat blessed, we said yes.
Hope this blessing gives Zoey’s Adventure a bit of divine guidance to steer her
away from the rocks!
That afternoon the marina hosted a Pig Roast, 200 pounds pig slowly cooking for 8+ hours in a special smoker. Boat owners were asked to bring a side dish indicative or local to the area you were from. Lou & I brought Boston Bake Beans made on board by Lou Ann in the InstaPot, just 30 minutes. Sorry Mom, but they where very good. The beans where a hit. In all, the afternoon was very nice. Eating, drinking and live entertainment. The pork was so moist and delicious and was roasted under the supervision of the head chef from the restaurant.
