We set a record for us on Friday, the 7th, that I’m not eager to repeat. We ran (or poked) from Atlantic Highlands via the Atlantic Ocean, arriving at Cape May 130 miles and 15 hours later making for a weary captain and last mate. Weather tonight look…

7 September 2012 Waterford – Haverstraw – Atlantic Highlands
This is where our Mini Loop began–a round trip of 990 miles, 100 locks, 118 days and our circle is complete. ( We’re counting Federal Lock to Federal Lock–Troy, NY). Waterford is a nice little village and we got a kick out of returning ther…
31 August 2012 Burlington, VT, –
Apologies for sounding like a broken record but…we LOVED Burlington, VT. It’s very artsy, earthy, university town, and inhabited by people who truly care about our environment. Our 3 night stay was far far too short. We could …
26 August 2012 Chambly, QC – Burlington, VT
This is why we leave the waterways to those who are gainfully employed and have to get their boating over with in a hurry. We tuck into a safe spot with a view and then on Mondays we resume or trek.

So far behind am I on this blog that I’ll never catch up but there’s no time to write if we’re out “doing” and we have been.

July 2012 Alexandria Bay – Boldt Castle – Picton Island, NY
The 1000 Islands has always been a location noted for its beauty and vast resources. Long before Europeans settled the area, the Iroquois and Algonquin Indians spent their summers fishing and hunting here.
Lore has it that Manitou said to the Ind…

Sodus Bay Light
After a wonderful week of spending time with Doris, Bill’s sister, in her home in Williamson, NY, we took (some) of his family out our last evening there for a Sodus Bay sunset cruis…
#45 June 2012 Blog NYC- Erie Canal-Oswego Canal – Sodus Bay, NY
May’s posting ended with a tone of “to be continued” so will make it short. When we departed Tom and Elinor’s dock in Severna Park, MD, we paused for a few days in Chesapeake City, another old and quaint little town where boating activity w…
#44 May 2012 Wild Dunes/Isle of Palms/Charleston, SC – Great Bridge/Chesapeake, VA – Solomon’s Island, MD – Severna Park, MD – Chesapeake City, MD – New York City
…and so our short time in Charleston is done.
Farewell to our friends in Charleston and Wild Dunes. We’ve cast off our lines to begin our trip to New York and Canada. Our stop there was brief–only long enough to provision, wash boat…
