Canada here we come! 7/8/07

Hello All

We are in Oswego, New York - on the southern shore of Lake Ontario. We're going to cross the lake Monday or Tuesday. We loved the Erie Canal, except some of the locks were very difficult. The canal system locks were not designed for large boats. Many of them have only ropes to hold on to and nothing to tie the boat to. When there was wind, it was almost impossible to have any control over the boat at all. We were so glad to pass safely through the last lock yesterday. We passed through 8 locks on the Oswego Canal and 23 on the Erie Canal. We are looking forward to being in Canada - have met many very nice folks from Canada on our US waters.

See you all out there somewere!
