    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.

Oswego

Oswego Arrived, another really peaceful ride on the lake, until the river into the docks. I look out the starboard door and a fishing boat is 10 feet from us, cuts us off and speeds away.  My plants, books and vase...on the floor.  Crap everywhere.  We saw where he went and we are going to hunt him down, jerk. That was our last full day of cruising, now things slow down and we will take the time to explore all the little towns along the way.  Went to town to buy that American flag, bought booze instead. But, look what the boat next door has; we could ply them with rum and abscond with it! Our First Injury Wallace jumped on a metal dock that flew up at him and landed him in a hole. Oh no, those gorgeous legs. A Sea Turtle, no way, turn around and see what that is.  Awe dead duck. Logging in my new official log book, thanks Howard I love it. Your in the army now.

Canal Life

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. Minetto Left Oswego at 8:15 a.m. after fueling up.  Lock 8, Lock 7, 6, 5 and we arrive in Minetto. 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). Walked into town... there wasn't one.  We did find a really good fishing rod for for $10 at a garage sale though, now we both have one, hah hah.  I promised I would try fish if it was caught, cleaned and cooked while I wasn't looking, and now I have my own rod, hmmm. Off to somewhere with power. Fulton Entering Lock 3, not sure what happened to Lock 4. The grimy rope you have...

Phoenix

Phoenix Love it here. Home of the Bridgehouse  Brats, a group of kids who  look after the park and historical museum and they will take you on a guided tour.  They work all summer long and bring you coffee to the dock, or tell you about the town and its amenities. Lots of tables, umbrellas and chairs for boaters to enjoy. As well there is free pump out, free wi fi, shower, 15 amp service and free docking.  Oh and also a laundromat within walking distance. What we believe was a golden eagle in the canal. A walk around Phoenix downtown:  Not sure what kind of flag this was, and either nobody was home, or they looked out the window to see me snapping a photo and Wallace at the door and decided to hide. Dinner on the dock, pulled pork, sausage and salt potatoes, dancing on the back porch (cockpit) to the Fab Cats, Beatles and Beach Boys style, drinking our home made wine. Such a perfect evening.
