Lights winds that diminished and calm conditions on the Hudson River. Travelled at slack tide so made good time. Lots of canalagators again (logs and debris) floating downstream from all the rain. Several locks on the Erie Canal have been closed today due to flooding. 
This is the location where we will unstep the mast to prepare for transiting the canals. Rocco met us on the dock and discussed our plans for removing the mast and building our cradle. He was very helpful. After we docked we removed our Genoa, removed the boom and prepared all the lines. 
Tomorrow we will remove a solar panel so we can use the arch to support the mast when it is down, and disconnect the electrical from the mast (among other related jobs). Once they have space for our boat closer to the crane they will have us move to another dock where we will build the cradle. They have all the materials needed here and our friends on Esmeralda and Someday V who were here a few weeks ago have left us a circular saw and some supplies. Very helpful! 😊

For anyone following us on Marine Traffic our AIS will no longer be working once we disconnect the antennae and take down the mast.
