After an overnight stop in Newark, we entered the Cayuga Seneca Canal, overnighted at Seneca Falls and cruised down Seneca Lake in south 25-30 mph winds to Watkins Glen. Carolyn Ann got a great fresh water washdown. The two days o…

The Honda motor on our dinghy hasn’t worked for a very long time, and Randy and Barb knew a mechanic just up the Potomac in Washington, DC who could fix it, so off we went to Washington Marina. Spent 4 days there and we were able to wander abou…
Thuya Garden Lilies
This image of Thuya Garden lilies from here in Northeast Harbor is born of a rainy day. It was indeed a nice sunny afternoon in the garden when this image was taken. However, a rainy day claims responsibility. We both had used time made available to work on black & white processing technique. I also […]
Tonawanda to Spencerport (Aug 10 to Aug 22)
We started our visit with a walk across the bridge to North Tonawanda heading for the Carousel Museum. On the way we stopped at the Riviera Theatre – home of the Mighty Wurlitzer. We managed to get in to admire the 1920’s décor, but they were doin…
The Bridge
Somesville is barely a town at the head of one of our favorite harbors, Somes Harbor. It is but a series of buildings stretched out along a busy road. It does have a nice little historical society museum beside what was once a mill spill way. Some time ago somebody decided to build a bridge. […]

WE’RE BaaaaaaaCK!
Man o Manashcevitz!!! We had such a good time in New York—it probably isn’t legal to enjoy ourselves so much, but we did!
The drive to New York was not unpleasant. To be able to say that when you circumvent Washingt…
Fairport, NY to Tonawanda (July 25 to August 9)
We left Palmyra under much appreciated clouds. The weather had finally cooled down a bit and after some rain in the morning, we started having the weather we had hopped for. Low 80’s, sunny during the day and cool nights. Our cruise that day took us…
East Passage 2011-08-10 05:20:06
A front brought a rain line through last night. May all storms be like this one. Early arriving clouds did kill any chance for a sunset. I did feel the need to get up at 4:30 to make sure that the building winds would cause us no problem. However at 5:30 the winds quit. Not […]
Waiting for Wind
So this year’s race unfolded as so many do – wait for wind, get frustrated when others boats find it first and then charge around the course working to beat one’s handicap and, thus, other boats. The big boys get to catch up fighting to finish first. That boat claims line honors, has bragging rights […]
Race Day ?
It’s the morning of THE big race of the summer up here. The sky is gray and the water is oil slick smooth. No wind. If the skies clear a good sea breeze usually develops. Come nine o’clock skippers meeting little has changed. Come ten when boats need to head for the start line a […]
