Terry, Send me a copy too and I will cut some DVDs also. I'll bring my computer on the Erie trip and we can watch it that way. No sense lugging a TV around! Thanks for saving my Mug and Maps. Your plan to stay Sunday in Seneca Falls is fine with us. Dun

Well guys, the NYcanal web site just posted a notice that the entire canal is opened as of tomorrow morning Aug 19th. Yeah! The landside lock facilities at lock E-9 thru lock E-15 will not be available for use, but that sould be ok. It looks like they did a great job getting lock E-10 back in...

Thanks for the update SNAFU. If you're from the area, keep us posted SVP. Dun (CTYankee)

Fred, Tom said lock 10 is still closed, but they are woking around the clock to get it opened by Labor Day. He'll keep us posted. In my opinion, we can wait until that weekend to see if it opens, and then change venues if necessary. The trip from Albany to Lake Champlain would be an entirely...

Hi Erie Canal Pals, I've been extremely busy and have not checked this site for weeks. Looks like we're still on and Crescent Girl and crew will be at Seneca Falls on Sept 9th and spend a week getting as far as anyone wants to go. Fast, slow or intermediate, makes no difference to us. We'll...

I use my Mr. Buddy heater here in New England maybe 2-3 times a year, and never overnight, so it is perfect for me. In Alaska, I would think you might need something more robust and permanent. It's cold cruising up there! Dun (CTYankee)

Jim, On our Erie Canal Cruise last Fall, three C-Dory 22 owners single handed all the way from Seneca Falls to Buffalo. They mostly just entered the locks and stopped next to a fixed ladder or cable, stood midship, and hooked a boat hook around a rung or vertical pipe or cable, and moved up or...

Hey guys, I've been hearing reports that the Eastern portion of the Erie Canal has sustained serious damage due to recent serious flooding and may not be able to reopen all locks this season. We'll have to keep an eye on it, but we should think about alternate plans if it can't open by...

Hi Dave, I hope we get to see you again this fall in Geneva. Dinner at the Ramada??? I think the plan is to get as far as possible in a week. Whether that means Troy, or Whitehall, or Burlington or the Rideau depends on how fast we go and how often we stop. Some might like to go faster than...

Hi Brats, Rick and Carol (Hunky Dory), Dave and Valerie (Widget) and Dun and Becky (Crescent Girl), are meeting on Moosehead Lake in northern Maine from July 28th to August 1st for some wilderness cruising. If there are any C-Brats out there, near or far, that would like to join us, give us a...

Rick et al; Those plans sound good to us. We'll try to make it to Whitehall, but be happy with Troy. Let's make Sept 9th at Seneca Falls official. Can the webmasters make a sign up sheet? Looks like we may have more boats than last year, and that would be great. Let's hear from other possible...

To all Chesapeake Attendees, Becky and I send our best to all of you guys at Langford Creek. Boy do we wish we could join you all again this year, but circumstances prevent us from making the trip. Enjoy the Company, Crabs and C-Dorys. And special howdies go out to Nick and Marcia on Valkyrie...

Hi Rick, These dates sound good to me. And the Eastern Erie would be my first choice this year. We may or may not be able to stay past the 16th, but that should be enough time to get to Troy or maybe beyond. Fred...it sound like you need to get your priorities straight. Old...

Thanks guys for the pictures. It's an amazing place and we are Sooooo jealous!. Maybe next year on a houseboat??? Dun & Becky (CTYankee)

Hi Guys, I'm glad to hear planning is taking place for this fall. My father passed away last week, so that frees up some time for us to do some cruising. Right now, any time in September looks good for us, so let's keep planning. Either the Eastern Erie, or up the Champlain Valley and into...

John et al; Becky and I may not be ble to make it all the way up this year. Our parents are having problems and we need to be as near as possible to them. It will be a last minute decision, but you'd better not count us in. So sorry to miss the fun. The weather just HAS to be better than last...

Well, talk is indeed cheap, and we can't do it this year because of other committments, but the houseboat idea really has appeal to us. I doubt if we'll ever get Crescent Girl to Arizona, but we've rented a small runabout in years past and I'd love to do the Lake with the pros. Put us down for...

Sorry Fred, I didn't know my hex power was THAT good. I figured if I had to suffer through the Giants' awful loss, you Pats fans should suffer too. Next year, eah? We had a great time, even though the weather was lousy. Good to see everyone again, and meet the Wasses and the Aubes and Gordons...

Pat, I've used one of those Mr. Buddy heaters for 2 years, but only oassionally during Spring and Fall as our New England winters are too cold for much boating. They work great, especially while moving so the condensation is vented out. I never leave it running while sleeping. For a cheap ($80)...

Sorry you can't make it Pat. El and Bill spoke fondly of you on the Erie Canal and said you would fit right into our litte (but growing) Northeast C-Brat group. We'll look for you next time. Maybe on the Chesapeake next spring? Have a ball in Seattle! Dun (CTYankee)
