Waterford to Amsterdam, NY

36 miles of scenic cruising and again avoiding the 25-30 MPH winds associated with maximal heating on some days. Cool mornings and warm days with low humidity w are just what we like compared to home. Both Amsterdam and Scotia city marinas have some issues with water skiing contests (speed limit is 45 MPH) with boaters complaining of them getting too close and causing wake damage. The new manager with a lease on the city marina cafe(Dan) is a hoot! It's closed on our arrival day of Tues, but he came over with his (presumed) wife who went over the specials for the night with the five boats tied up. It was delicious, Very generous portions for great prices and $2/ft including power with 4+ AC bath house and laundry. Highly recommended. Historically, the trains followed the river valleys after the historic barges, so there is always train and road bridge noise but it never bothers us with fans on.
It's amazing how much riverfront is virgin forest...no condos or development on the riverbanks for 90% of the journey...so surprising for what we assumed to be NY!
