We are now officially in the Erie Canal. (Although if you listen to the locals they are upset because the Governor signed a bill about a month ago that made Buffalo the official western end of the canal rather than Tonawanda - so officially we made it last evening). It was a quick run from Buffalo to Tonawanda (under 3 hours with a fuel stop). This is an interesting town with the North side of the canal being a different town and county than the South side (North Tonawanda vs. Tonawanda). There are very few boats as we are late in the season although a PDQ catamaran pulled in later in the evening a short distance from us and they are from St. Clair Shores and are headed to the Bahamas. We enjoyed walking around town and the Dockmaster (Pappy) was a wealth of information about town (both current and historical). Marty and Marlene have found a Farmer's Market that is about 6 blocks away and they are heading there in the morning.
