Friday, Aug 14: Barcelona, New York

After a late start due to fixing one more hydraulic line for the steering we decided to move on to Barcelona, New York. Steve has been trying to get some fishing in but it seems we are never in the same state for more than a day or two! We don't very often travel so late in the day (the goal is to be settled by 1 pm to give the engine time to cool down so the cabin is cool - otherwise we need to run the air conditioner on the really warm days) so the view behind us with the sun on the water was an awesome sight - like thousands of sparkles in the water. Met the owner Duff at the marina in Barcelona. Quite a character - late 80's if he's a day! He had us dock at the ramp - much to the consternation of the local fisherman who intended to put his boat in at 5:30 am the next morning! So we worked it out and all was well. Another wonderful sunset as well as a 2 person band at the bar/restaurant next to the marina. How enjoyable to be able to sit by the shore and enjoy the music!
