Friday morning we launched off to explore the Finger Lakes…advertised as the Napa Valley of New York. Six lakes, over 59 wineries, unlimited towns and restaurants. I was in charge of picking wineries to visit and sampling the goods. Floyd was in char…

Thursday was spent at the Naval Museum. Three ships (a destroyer, a submarine, and guided missile cruiser) all open, restored, and ready for us to explore. We did. Other than that we were disappointed in the other options i Buffalo. Frank Lloyd Wright…

Crowds on the Canadian side seemed to have less walking space…so we agree the view from the Canadian side is better…but if you want to feel the power and have space, time and things to do…spend time on the American side. Plus it was a bit cheaper…

Killarney 8-19-10
We left our anchorage at 11am after rain, wind and t-storms. We now know why the anchor held so well—lots of mud and long stringy grass which knotted around itself and required 2 boat poles and the washdown pump set on a fire hose setting to dislodge…
Scrap Plan "B" go to Plan "C"

A New Boating Discussion Board
Both Susan and I have been really busy with new projects at Waterway Guide, and that is one big reason the boat projects are going slower than we would like and why we have not been doing the cruising on the Chesapeake we had planned. Susan is deep int…
