    We will be looking forward to your story. Wave when you go past the Pink house AICW marker 350 just north of the South Carolina Little River swing bridge.

Aug. 20 2016 Today we enter the Oswego Canal, heading for Lock 6 and counting down to Lock 1. Then we enter the Erie Canal.

Tied up to the wall, but all three power posts were dead, so no air and it was blazing hot.  Met a young girl and her chihuahua who had single handed her way in a Hughes 26 ft. to the Bahamas and was returning after a year to Belleville with her last 10 dollars.  Said the whole thing cost her $4000.  Wow, brave young lady (or crazy).
