We managed to get away for the entire weekend.\u00a0 What a way to celebrate!!!\u00a0 Leaving at around 8:00 pm to go to dinner at the GNYC in Chippawa with clouds and a few scatters of rain we arrive to a vacant dock with some party goers at the club.\u00a0 We even had time for a bevy.<\/p>\n
Rain during the night and drizzle on Saturday morning and we realized we forgot the camera.\u00a0 We then headed off to Tonawanda to our favourite little spot along the Erie Canal.\u00a0 Scott and I washed the upper deck and cleaned windows.\u00a0 Met some fellow boaters that we have seen but never met and realized they were more seasoned at the party than ourselves.\u00a0 Besides I can’t drink, or eat, for that matter.\u00a0 The sun was out by 3:00 on Saturday.\u00a0 The boys decided they were going to make a homemade cake for me for my birthday and of course there were gifts to open.\u00a0 No one is more excited than me to receive a new toaster and cast iron frying pan.\u00a0 Love the bike shorts too!!!\u00a0 The cake was Yummy!!! Early to bed!!<\/p>\n
Sunday we woke to drizzle, rain and more rain.\u00a0 On the plus side we found out that there was a “Boat Blessing” at 2:00 with an antique fire boat coming into the entrance to the harbour for a big show.\u00a0 So we gathered up our lines and fenders and off we went to watch the spray with about 30 other boats.\u00a0 Then the parade into the harbour to be blessed.\u00a0 Mom will be so pleased that the boat has now been blessed.\u00a0 Scott and I are surprised that she didn’t start up in flames.\u00a0 We stopped at our spot on the wall again and stayed till about 6:30 or so before heading home.\u00a0 Even though the rain was intermittent and steady at times the day was another great day on the water!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
