Dorie Leigh

Dorie Leigh in West Haverstraw, NY

A couple of Patriot 29 owners are helping to prove that the Chesapeake Bay isn't the only place they can enjoy their boat.  Jeff and Dorie are on a month long cruise in their 29' MathewsBros Patriot which began in West Haverstraw, NY on the Hudson River.  They have since cruised north on the Hudson through several locks (which was an experience!) into Lake Champlain and say they are having the time of their lives.  The best part is that anyone can follow them on their cruise because Jeff has been blogging a little bit about each day!  He mentioned today how comfortable they are in their boat, "Dorie’s friends are probably asking what it feels like now that we are 11 days into the trip and haven’t slept off the boat yet?  Even with the rain, life is terrific.  We couldn’t be more comfortable."

One of the services that we provide is delivering your boat to wherever you would like to meet it for your boating season and/or cruise.  Jeff and Dorie took us up on that offer and Pete trailered Dorie Leigh to the marina in West Haverstraw just a few days before Jeff and Dorie met her there.

If you would like to follow Jeff and Dorie, you can either follow them in chronological order or from the most recent day backwards.
