By daybreak we had made it to the Rip Van Winkle Bridge. We passed Hudson, Athens, Coxsackie, and Castleton-on-Hudson. By 1000 Albany was in sight!

Dutch Apple Cruises met us south of the Port of Albany, and the excitement of finally being home kicked in! We had many fans, volunteers, and news crews in our parking lot waiting for our return.

Once the tugs had us in place, we started placing a gangway, hooked up the electrical, sewage, and water lines. We were finally home!

Jaquie Slater and News Channel 13 did a feature story of our return trip. We were very grateful to have her and her camera man Matt aboard. Take a look at the videos here.
