CRUISE'N UP THE ERIE CANAL
One of the things about boating on a trip like this is the uncertainty of what lies ahead. A lot of the stories of those who have traveled this route center on things like when they ran aground or had some other calamity. I guess it's human nature to remember more vividly those times when things went bad. So even with our years of planning, there are those times of apprehension about a segment of travel, like going out into the ocean or crossing one of the Great Lakes or going aground. For the most part, the concerns have been overblown. I'm finding that problems usually arise when there is lack of good planning or the mind wanders when it shouldn't. Since we're only one third of the way around the Loop, I should probably hold my tongue. But the travel so far has gone real well. I think that is because we have a lot of good people praying for us. Thanks!!
Tonight we are in Brewerton, NY on the Erie Canal at one of the finest maintained boat yards and marinas I have seen so far. The day was beautiful following a 24 mile cruise across Lake Oneida. The Admiral and I went to WalMart, Target, and a great new grocery store to reprovision for our trip north to Canadian waters.

Ahoy, Joy@Sea! Annapolis City Dock just hasn't been the same without you. We're still savoring our time together, and the cruise up the Severn and around the Navy Academy (the "Yard") gave us a new and delightful perspective of our Chesapeake. The fellowship was superlative and long overdue. We look forward to our next rendezvous. In the meantime, we are enthralled with your accounts and marvel at the magnitude of this fantastic venture. We wish you Godspeed and smooth sailing. Stan & Jane

er. I mean picture...seeing as how there is only one and grammatically speaking that sentence was all wrong...
