Easy Day...

We enjoyed breakfast in the cockpit, then took Izzy for another walk. Palmyra has been her favorite stop... almost no road noise and a nice park setting. We cleaned up and headed east.

It was an easy day today - less than 10 miles, no locks, and we are now on the dock at Newark. This is a great facility that we stayed at a week ago... and this time, we have a space on the floating dock. No climb UP to get off the boat. There is another C-Dory here on the dock and a large sailing catamaran on the wall in front of them.


The C-Dory in front of Wild Blue is named "Snickers". The owner, Jim, introduced himself and gave us a couple fun-size Snicker candy bars. He said he does that with all the lock masters... a sure way to get cordial greetings all along the canal!


As soon as we got Wild Blue tied off, Joan put in a load of laundry - another great feature of the facility here: a washer/dryer for boaters to use.

Izzy also checked out the situation on the dock...

She did go for a short walk, but there is a lot more road noise and people walking around here. It has been raining on and off today, but we'll try to get her out for another walk to get used to a busier dock.
