| This wasn't where we had planned to stop, but it is a beautiful place. |
 |
| We are definitely getting closer to home, Canada geese and mosquitoes |
 |
| The water was literally like glass today |
 |
| Snag boat picking up debris in the water, glad they picked up this stuff. |
 |
| Met this barge on the canal today, not sure why they have grass growing on top of it. |
Cloudy this morning; left Little Falls and travelled through locks in very calm water. As we approached the third lock it started to rain, while we were in the lock it poured. Of course, I am the one out on the front deck of the boat holding the rope. Oh well, I had my raincoat and I won't melt. Jeans got rather wet though. That was the last lock going up in this part of the Erie. The last 2 locks of the day lock you down from Rome, the high point of the canal. Just before we entered the last lock, one engine coughed and sputtered a bit, then quit. The lockmaster was very helpful and helped us get the ropes on the side of the lock. We exited the lock and tied to the wall on the side. Simple Interest, another boat that we have met several times in the past few days, was already on the wall and kindly helped us get docked. Wayne spent the next couple of hours changing fuel filters and cleaning lines, hopefully it will be fine now until we get home. Had drinks this evening with Dianne and Van Carter on Simple Interest; nice opportunity to get to know them better. Tomorrow we will cross Oneida lake and go to Brewerton.
