Today dawned with cool temperatures and high, hazy clouds. We started the day in Lyons, NY, with the smell of the Chicken BBQ at the Fire Hall as they began cooking dinner for 400. The smell was mouthwatering. We took walks around town and shortly after 10 we were on our way. We only had two locks today with drops of only 6-8 feet. A real snap for our crack crew!
The canal has joined the Seneca River and widened considerably (as can be seen by this picture from our stern, tied to a wall for the evening). As this is a most beautiful last Sunday in September, we saw more boaters and fishermen out on the water. We have also continued to see a great number of great blue herons along the route and this afternoon we saw a bald eagle soaring over the river.
The wall where we are docked has no services (power or water) and we will be firing up the grill to do some salmon stuffed with shrimp which Marlene brought. We are in agreement that we are eating very well on this cruise.
