Wondering where we have been? Tonawanda and Buffalo, NY, Germany and Boston, MA… But now? Happily on the way to Presque Isle, PA with 2nd Mate Cathy on board!
We arrived in Tonawanda, with all of the floating debris, on Sunday July 20th and spent a week on the wall while waiting for the mast stepping appointment.
This bascule bridge was only ever opened during its construction in 1919. The Erie Canal height restrictions were modified before it was released for use so it never needed to be opened. HATE when that happens…
A friendly fellow cheering on the runners running along the Niagara River in the morning.
On our way from Tonawanda, the last bridge which will need to be lifted for us until Chicago. Behind the Ferry Street lift bridge, is the Peace Bridge to Canada, closed to all but commercial traffic currently. Passing under these two bridges brings us to…
We shared the dock at CanalSide with the USS Little Rock. That ship is BIG!
We left Buffalo in the quiet of the morning…
… a sailboat once again.
With more than one additional mate…🙃
Glad to see your a sailboat again. 😎 Enjoy the trip. We look forward to meeting up again.
