I shoved off and expected to go to the Waterford Tugboat Roundup and then
back home, so I'm only stocked with a few days clothes and provisions ...
and somehow I wound up in Fairport on the western Erie Canal. Seems like
it's another adventure every day!
I've run into so many old friends from long ago and more recently, met a
bunch of new ones, went on a picnic with a lady, which started lots of
rumors,dinner out most every night ... hadda great time wherever I went ...
and got about a thousand new photos.
Tonite I met up with tug Urger at Sylvan Beach, 2 old friends there and 2
new ones. Right now they are shuffling the chase cars, and then it's out
to dinner and the bars.
Looks like my 3 day trip has turned into 3 weeks.
And I can say with good authority that nothing but nothing beats the Erie
Canal and the New York Canal System.

Well said, and we agree! We’re going north on the boat next spring, looking forward to being back on the New York Canal System as we head toward the Rideau, St. Lawrence & Saguenay. The Erie Canal is great fun! In fact, when we were north this summer with our car we drove along the eastern end of the Erie, stopping at the locks, checking out the boats and generally wishing we were on a boat.

My 2 cats passed recently ... aged 17 and 18 .. so now there's no real
reason I need to back home at any particular time so I'm making the best of
it.
