The African Queen

August 12, 2008
Jim thought that he was in the movie "The African Queen" today. (I'm getting abit worried)! However, that's what the experience of cruising the canal/river felt like. We are amazed with how few boats are actually on the canal. We only shared one lock so far with another boat. We have now been through eight locks - still no damage. We traveled from Fulton to Brewerton today and tied up to the free dock. Tomorrow we will cross Oneida Lake. Today was a beautiful day - no rain. Tomorrow we hope to spend the day at Sylvan Beach.

Hello to the crew of the SS Kismet. Just wanted to wish both of you the best. Sarah, Lauren and I got together for a dinner tonight. Heard all the happenings of your trip so far. Laurie I'm sorry to hear about your fathers passing... are hearts and minds are with you. We'll be checking the blog often to see how things are shaping up. May the wind be in yours sails, and oceans smile to meet you.
