A very easy day today: 9 1/2 miles and one lock. Lots of docks and boats on the side of the canal, so our speed was sloooooooowwww. It was a gray day - occasional rain, nothing major. It made the colors along the canal muted.
Along the way, we saw ducks ducking under the water, geese, and the occasional blue heron.
It took a while going through the last lock... not because of anything we did; the lock-master was moving at half speed. Apparently, the theme for the day. Didn’t matter, since we are not on a schedule. We just enjoyed the pretty scenery.
Just before arriving at the Seneca Lake State Park Marina, I saw something that really takes the cake (where does that expression come from?)... a kid on a jet-ski. No, that’s not unusual... what was unusual: he was texting. Yeah, punching in stuff on his cell phone while riding the jet-ski. So, the jet-ski is not enough stimulation... he needed his cell phone to make the experience complete?
We put Wild Blue into a slip, and I walked to the office and retrieved Big Red. Nice to have wheels again. We’ll spend the next couple days getting ready to head to Canada.
