After a short day on Monday we woke up ealy to catch the tide on its way out today. I didnt't even hear the alarm and we ended up getting on the water at 6:30 instead of 5:00. Everything worked out anyway. We paddled for a few hours in the rain and then took a break for some food and a nap. We had one of the greatest camp sites of our entire trip! It was a secluded site with a gazebo to hang our hammpcks under. It was a little sad to have to leave the area after only a few hours. The rest of the day was a lot dryer but very hot. We made it under our first suspension bridge of the river near Poughkeepsie which was pretty cool and then we found ourselves at the Marlboro Yacht Club. All the people here are so friendly. They all came by to say hello and ask about our trip. One man gave us a menu for a great pizza place down the road which was amazing! We even got to shower! We have been extremely fortunate with all the great people we have run into along the way. I know I have said that before but it happens just about every other day. Tomorrow we are meeting up with a man name Bill that Shannon has been in contact with and he is going to kayak with us for a while as well as give us some fruit and toilet paper! Yay! Tonight our hammocks are hung from a jungle gym which is probably our most creative setup yet and worth sharing in my opinion. Another early start tomorrow means it is time to sleep. Good night!
