Ithaca to Phoenix via Seneca Falls

Today was moving day: 46.2nm from Seneca Falls to Phoenix, NY. We are now sitting before the first lock on the Oswego Canal. Yesterday was a short jump from Ithaca to Seneca Falls with Mark joining through the locks, then a great dinner with Peter, Cindy and Kristen (thanks for the packages!) before they headed back to Boston.

Today’s big news was the maritime rescue we participated in near Plainville. A man had fallen out of his pontoon boat and it was drifting in the canal, him clinging to the end of the right pontoon, trying to get back on board. Christian dropped the dinghy and, the boat already grounded on the south bank, towed the man and his boat back into deeper water. Sorry, no pictures as I was alone on our boat wondering how I would get the captain back on board!😬

For those of you who are paying attention, you know which way we wanted to go but which way we actually went…
Instead of pictures of the rescue, you get these guys.
