Day Five: Captains' Log

The crew had their first rainy night of the voyage, which meant a less than restful night. But a little morning yoga helped make things a little better.

Captains Sam and John discuss the evening's rain and the favorable winds coming toward the valley and the ebb tide in their favor. 

Apollonia ship's dog Hoku had a chance to take the helm!

Remember the cute tugboat Betty June? We stopped to talk with her owner Van Calhoun. This is just a teaser for the film to come!

Finally, we know a lot of you have been very curious about how Solaris actually runs on solar panels, so by popular demand, Captain John takes you on a tour of her electrical systems. 

We ended the day in beautiful Athens, NY. 

And, as a bonus, here's a little tour of Nine Pin Cider Works up in Albany! Apollonia took on cargo from them to bring south to Hudson today. 

Hope you've been enjoying the voyage so far. Only a few more days to go!
