The short jump from our wonderful anchorage in Duck Cove to Catskill, NY was not because we wanted to visit the location of Irving’s ‘Rip Van Winkle’ (one of the bridges you are sure to hear about in “Fun with Hudson River Bridges) or the place where the painter Thomas Cole lived. Catskill is the home of Riverside Marine Services, the experts in mast un-stepping, and our destination. In addition to excellent boating resources (clean bathrooms, laundry, diesel, water and pump-out) and friendly staff, there is a quirky, artsy little town full of cats…
The cats represent the businesses before which they sit…
Great “CATS”. This reminds me of the “Horses on Parade” event in Rochester where artist decorated horses and they were posted all over the city.
The locks on the Erie Canal near Rochester, New York are not staffed. You will want to call ahead to schedule time and day. I am really enjoying the pictures along your journey. Like Sheila, I love the cat statues.
