Waterford, relaxing and meeting new Friends

July 24, 2013 · by Lorraine | in 2013, Erie Canal, New York, United States | tagged chores, Cruising friends, info, layover, Shopping | 4 Comments

Tues, July 23. Day 18 Photos of us enjoying our Hot Fudge Sundaes at Ron and Paul’s last night. Last night it rained on and off and continued until early morning. Today was the start of our 2-day layover in Waterford. We would start out the day with breakfast at Ron and Paul’s on Broad […]

Made it to Waterford, NY

July 22, 2013 · by Lorraine | in 2013, Erie Canal, New York, United States | tagged Destination, layover | 7 Comments

We had a false start this morning turning on the engine 20 min before 8am to go through Lock 11 only to turn it off again but waiting for a motorboat to go up the lock going westbound. Finally, M/V Glazmor from France started up her engines and we got into the lock at a […]

Amsterdam, NY and visiting Cruising Friends

July 21, 2013 · by Lorraine | in 2013, Cruising Friends, Erie Canal, New York, United States | tagged Cruising friends, Layovers | 2 Comments

Sunday, July 21. This morning we left Lock 17 dock at 722am. Not too far down the way, we saw the Swan sailboat at the Herkimer Home tied up at a new dock. You can see the sea smoke this morning, we think caused from the water being warmed from the tower across the canal […]

Excitement on the Erie Canal

July 20, 2013 · by Lorraine | in 2013, Erie Canal, New York, United States | tagged French Canadians, mishaps | Leave a comment

July 20. Day 15 on trip When we woke this morning, it was 74 heavenly degrees. We left at 755am to get as far as we could today without killing ourselves. The excitement I’ll tell you about has to do with S/V Equinocci, a Swan 47′ or 50′ sailboat. They were on the wall just […]

Thunderstorms

Just wanted to let everyone know that we are ok after the thunderstorms came through, tied up at the dock and safe. Hope everyone is ok too.

Pirates Weekend in Sylvan Beach

July 19, 2013 · by Lorraine | in 2013, Erie Canal, New York, United States | tagged Entertainment, layover | 6 Comments

This morning we woke to relative coolness, but still too hot for Phil to make coffee so we went walking in town and came across Flashback Cafe. Here is a panoramic of the interior. There we met Laura and Ken. Ken was born in Cleveland area, moved to Arizona as a young child. They have […]

Travel to Sylvan Beach – crossed Oneida Lake

July 19, 2013 · by Lorraine | in 2013, Erie Canal, New York, United States | tagged heat, lakes, Layovers | 6 Comments

Thursday, July 18 1 week 6 days into trip. We woke at 6am at first light, and cast off Lock 25’s walls at 639am. We wanted to get an early start to see if we could cross Oneida Lake before the higher winds came which are expected tomorrow and Saturday. Last night Lorraine put her […]

Long day of motoring in the heat

July 17, 2013 · by Lorraine | in 2013, Erie Canal, New York, United States | tagged Travel day, Weather | 6 Comments

Phil woke Lorraine this morning about 640am and we cast off from the dock 656am, ahead of schedule. It started off warm and we reached our first lock just after it opened at 801am in Macedon. It has the unfortunate reputation for the walls being the worse in the canal. We don’t have any more […]

Day with family

July 17, 2013 · by Lorraine | in 2013, Erie Canal, New York, United States | tagged Family, visitors | 3 Comments

Tuesday, July 17 We woke and went to Riki’s restaurant for breakfast. We each had their pancake special of 2 eggs, 2 pancakes and either 2 sausage links or 2 slices of bacon. Afterwards, we took some of the walking tour ending up at the cemetery and walking home along the canal. Pat picked us […]

Fairport, No Spencerport, ok Fairport

July 15, 2013 · by Lorraine | in 2013, Erie Canal, New York, United States | tagged Layovers, Side trips, supermarkets | 7 Comments

We started out today with our ultimate destination to be Fairport, but we changed our mind during the day to stay at Spencerport, changed it back again after talking to my sister-in-law, to getting to Fairport. We left Holley docks at 815am after I talked with Melissa, daughter of S/V Senior Moment. She lives in […]
