The last night in Newark we met a couple in a 21′ cuddy cabin that dropped their boat in New York harbour with expectations of making it to Fort Erie.\u00a0 We exchanged some information on the Greater Niagara
\nBoat Club and they will be making their way to Chippawa instead.\u00a0 In exchange we received a new, or new to us, Canadian flag to replace to stolen one.\u00a0 We are all dressed again for the journey today.<\/p>\n
We had a beautiful cruise along tributaries of the Finger Lakes and saw some beautiful homes and cottages along the way.\u00a0 Speed was good and we were able to catch up some time.\u00a0 This portion of the trip makes you feel like you are away instead
\nof the idea of being in a dredged canal that has become the norm until this point.<\/p>\n
We expected to make it to Baldwinsville today and instead made a run for it to Phoenix, NY.\u00a0 The first lock on the Oswego is here.
\nCute little place with kids of all ages called The Brats.\u00a0 They serve coffee and lemonade all day long and also offer a breakfast and lunch menu from the local restaurant on the canal.
\nOne boy, Zach, played washer toss with Aiden for over an hour while Scott ordered parts for the marine radio that happened to stop working.\u00a0 Radio is acting up too.\u00a0 Should be great when going through the commercial locks
\nwhere the operators are used to deaing with functioning equipment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Aiden fed ducks and geese by the numbers in the evening.\u00a0 Stale bread is such a treat when you are saving up for those feasting times.
\nOne Canadian goose is more like a duck than a goose.\u00a0 He stays with the ducks only and when geese come around he leaves.\u00a0 He is extremely gentle
\nas geese go that is.\u00a0 He leaves food for the ducks and goes without.<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_0_placeholder\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
