Tuesday, December 24 We started the engine at 645am and Phil raised the anchor while I listened to Chris Parker weather using head phones. It wasn’t too long until we were in the steeper waves in the cut and shallow water that I came up getting seasick down below. Then I had a great idea! […]

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 […]
