Greetings all!
I have said this before, but will repeat it for those who might have joined us recently….
I consider the blog as kind of a tug-a-war between myself and the readers, in which only one of us gets to win. When the seas

[Kensblog] Sometimes, I win
Dunkirk, NY–Good Ole USA
We are delighted to be back in the USA again and are now docked at Dunkirk, New York on the south shore of Lake Erie. Clouds are building and it is supposed to rain tomorrow–greatly needed as all the lawns are brown from lack of rain. Dunkirk is a quaint town with a huge coal […]
Welland Canal
The Welland Canal Today we did 8 locks on the “much feared” Welland Canal and found it mostly friendly. We were at the bottom of the locks by 7:30 a.m. check in, where we received instructions that another big freighter would precede us and then we’d lock through about 11 a.m. This time was pretty […]

Jarrett Bay Ambiance
We are still tied to the dock, fine-tuning new systems, playing with the exhaust, experimenting with new motor mounts, and delving into various and sundry minor electrical/electronic upgrades. When we started this last fall we were just going to do a bit of preventative maintenance, with what we thought was a perfect cruising boat. […]
Applesauce
Yesterday I got Al up and moving early. I want him to build his endurance. So he wasn’t keen to get going but I’m in tough love mode and staying in bed was not an option. I know how tiring it can be healing a brain, but I also know you have to …
Peterborough Marina, Peterborough, ON – 7/12/12
Being on the up side of the lock gave us the opportunity to take off early for Peterborough at 7:30 with only one lock today just a mile from our destination. It would be 39 miles but since we enter the large Rice Lake almost immediately for over…
Ketchikan to Prince Rupert Southbound
July 8, 2012Another rainy day in Ketchikan as Jon & Susanne take a final sightseeing walk and pack for their return flight on Alaska Airlines. We were disappointed that the water taxi is no longer in business, but we were able to arrange a co…
