6/14 thru 6/21/17......The Dreaded Erie Canal

I didn't know that I dreaded the canal at the time; but I do now. I cannot imagine anyone doing this trip twice

Awesome museum


Sonny loved seeing this....



Upper floor of  Boldt Castle

Boldt Castle's boathouse, water was so high we couldn't tour it




if you take this direction.................... maybe when I forget just how much I disliked it! We have a 160 mile trip to the Oswego Canal and 22 locks. The first day was 39 miles and 9 locks to Amsterdam. NY. The marina wall we tied up to is nice, it's at a park area and has a restaurant. We had no power again, for some reason the power poles wouldn't work for us. We left early the next morning for a 41 mile trip and 7 locks to Little Falls Canal Harbor.                                                                              The next day is 49 miles, & 5 locks to Sylvan Beach. Rain rain rain..........                                                                                                    The next morning is 22 miles to Ess-Kay Marina in Bremerton, NY.  We used their courtesy van (no air conditioning, and it was HOT) to go to Wal-Mart and Post Office.                                                                                                                                                                           The next morning was another 32 miles and 7 locks to Oswego. We will tie up to a free wall while storms move through that afternoon.    The next morning we were in the next lock @ 7am, then stopped for fuel before crossing Lake Ontario, then the St. Lawrence River. We traveled 64 miles to Clayton Harbor Marina in Clayton, NY. While here we caught a ferry and toured The 1000 Islands, and Boldt Castle. The scenery is wonderful..............
When we leave here we will enter Canada.      Wish I knew why my wording is separating when I insert pics......................wish I knew how to insert a sad face.............................
