Canajoharie August 25th, 26th The Village of Canajoharie, Riverfront Park Stopped here for a few days to visit the museum, art gallery and see the pot holes and waterfall. Lovely parkside setting with power (no other amenities at the dock). Our first night and morning brought rain but then it cleared up nicely. We heard there was a frame shop, so we had our picture glass replaced and it is back in its rightful spot. Wallace also installed an outlet to charge our phones, camera and tablets with while enroute. The museum exhibit this summer was Circus Circus, being the Beechnut Gum travelling circus. Canajoharie was the home of Beechnut until recently. They had tiny travelling mechanical circus vans that travelled the states marketing their products. Although the exhibit depicts Beechnut as a contributor to the commerce and well being of the village, local residents remember the owner, Arkell, as swindling his business partner to the...

Countdown
The Countdown is on. We are down to last minute items, shower is operational, freezer is being built and we have a theory on how to rig our boom to hoist the dingy aboard; minor detail; Wallace has a plan. So in about one week, we will be leaving PCYC for the Bahamas. Its a slow boat and we anticipate being in the Bahamas for Christmas. We had a lovely celebration bon voyage last night with friends and family..ate and drank too much. We are truly blessed to have such people in our lives and they will be missed. But, I get to spend the next nine months exploring small towns, museums, and nature with My Wallace. We plan on anchoring most of the way, and I'm picturing a surreal existence with warm evenings floating in solitude, sitting in the cockpit painting and reading and learning the guitar and eating home cooked meals that we have concocted with whatever is in the galley. However, having been regaled with the experiences of t...
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.
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.
