On to Lock 20

An absolutely gorgeous day today on the Erie Canal. The temps were in the upper 70s, almost no wind, and a beautiful blue sky. Wild Blue moved along the glassy canal like a magic carpet...


3 locks and 25 miles today. We stopped for the day outside of Lock 20. There is a pretty park alongside the lock, a place to tie off, and 15 amp power...



Izzy got to go for a nice long walk in the grass; we all enjoyed some time in the shade. It was peaceful and quiet until late afternoon, when a group of young kids discovered the dock. They ran back and forth on it... one young girl would see something in the water at one end and they'd all run to see. Than another kid would see something at the other end of the dock and they'd all run past us again. Nice kids, just a LOT of energy. We fielded some questions and explained that the boat is our "home" while we're traveling on the water.


It was after sunset before we had the dock to ourselves again... and blissful peace and quiet.
