June 12 – Brockport, NY

Brockport Town Dock

“Let the beauty of what you love be what you do.” ―Rumi

We’ve been having beautiful days and probably should be traveling more each day…but we really have nowhere in particular to go and we’re having fun relaxing and exploring this wonderful little towns. Stan went back to Cafe Macchiato for breakfast and brought me back a huge cinnamon roll. What’s not to like about spending the morning having coffee and a cinnamon roll on the flybridge…with a great view.

Feel the Itch and Sand it Anyways

It never seems to end. Sanding that is. I’ve gone around the frames I’ve just put in, 4 sides to fillet & tape tomorrow. But the sanding never seems to end. This is the direct result of not working faster/harder wet on wet. Once the epoxy kicks off…

June 11 – Bridges, Bridges, Bridges

Spencerport Town Dock

Low bridge, everybody down, low bridge for we’re coming to a town, and you’ll always know your neighbor, and you’ll always know your pal. If you’ve ever navigated on the Erie Canal” -Thomas S. Allen

The last 100 miles of the Erie Canal from Fairport to Tonawanda most resembles the original Erie Canal. Miles and miles of straight dug canal with towpaths on both side. This section of the Western Erie has more dockage points with electric and miles of developed walking/biking paths along the old towpath than the previous 246 miles. The little towns along the canal are so pretty, with nice canalside parks, gazebos, walking trail, restaurants, shops and very nice people. The towns are clean and there are beautiful flowers everywhere…very picturesque.
