STUCK!!!!

 As luck would have it, there a a few malfunctions at some of the Locks. This will be our 3rd night in Newark, NY. It's pouring down rain today, in the low 40's and no where to go by boat. We are hoping things improve soon, We've got plenty to do for a couple more days, and there are restaurants, walking trails and grocery stores nearby. We are fine, but raring to go.

ADVENTURE CONTINUES WESTERN ERIE CANAL MAY26,2021

We left Winter Harbour to Lock 23. It was a gorgeous and relaxing day.


That evening we tied up to the lock wall at May's Point. Pastoral, rural setting with lots of area to walk Rusty.


May 27,2021 we continued west to lock 28B, when the lockmaster told us that the 2 locks ahead were temporarily closed. We spent the night tied up in Newark, NY...a delightful stop! Had all the amenties and FREE.




Yes, ice cream steps away from KNOTUGAL! Guess what we do every night ???

THE ADVENTURE CONTINUES

 Evidently, I haven't posted in a LONG time! I am going to start up again.

In June 2019, We left our boat at Atlantic Yacht Basin  in Norfolk to be stored until summer 2020. Starting July 2020, we left AYB to head North. We had an uneventful but great trip, stopping at:

Hampton Roads, VA

Deltaville, VA

Solomons, MD

Annapolis, MD

St.Michaels, MD

Rock Hall, MD

Chesapeake City, MD

Cape May, NJ

Mannessquan,NJ

NYC,NY

Croton on the Hudson, NYKingston,NY

New Baltimore. NY

Waterford, NY

Schnectady, NY

Utica,NY

Brewerton NY

This was the farthest we have traveled north so far. We had had a lot of apprehension for the Delaware Bay, going on the Atlantic around NJ and through NYC. Happy to say it all went perfectly and was a fabulous trip. We arrived at Winter Harbour Brewerton NY early August 2020. Having completed the Eastern portion of the Erie Canal, we left our boat in heated storage until May 2021. BTW, we had no problems with covid related issues.
