HI Sean-- is your boat still for sale? Thanks Rich

Hi- congrads on your new boat, you picked the best dealer in the area as far as I'm concerned. These guys/gals really try to make it happen. I use to take my 16' to them for service even though I was in Ca. & on the east coast of Fl. and a lot of time in N.E. These are real boat people and work...

Fred-- Sorry you can't make it, I wanted to really check out an 22 Angler. I know this is a busy time for you. Planning on being on the east coast this fall. What is the exact name of your Inn on the island. Thanks Rich

Hi All-- I just finished having curtains made for my boat. I found out that there are actually two types of sunbrella material one is a lighter weight material and one is somewhat heavier. I went with the Off White heavier material even though it took an upholstery sewing machine to do the job...

Hi Jim & Dave-- Ok, I think I will just follow the two of you. I probably will have to just follow your wake since that heavy 44' steel barge will probably only do about 6-8 mph tops. Thanks Rich

Hi all-- just notice my Cruising Guide to the N.Y. Canal System is dated 2003. Does anyone know if there have been any changes or major modifications since this publication date? Thanks Rich

Hi--I used a small Icy-Tec cooler (25 lbs.) which is built very strong, I just added non skid on the top and bottom for my interior step, also works well as an extra seat and as a cooler and it dosen't take up much space. Rich

Is this boat still for sale? Rich

Thanks for the input Sloppy Joe, we will definitley make an effort to stop there after the Erie Canal, even though it is some what out of the way. Is it actually in Clayton, NY? Seems to be about 225 miles from Rochester, one way Thanks again Rich

Hi Everyone--- after the Erie Canal Cruise we are planning on a day trip by auto to the Thousand Islands mainly to see the antique wooden boat museum in Clayton. Claims to have over 250 antique boats at this location, many in the water. Has anyone been there and is worth the trip? Any...

Rick--- think Henry B's in Seneca Falls it's a standup joint ,a little pricey but, great wine list & great food. Italian food made by real Italians. Two can actually share one plate. Sort of reminds me of a 1950's NY steakhouse without the red leather. Has had lots of good reports and coments...

Hi everyone--- what are the plans for dinner on 08 & 09 & 10 of Aug.? Just trying to figure out our schedule since our arrangements will be a little different. Thanks Rich

F.Y.I.-- All you history buffs, the book that Fred ( the man from Nantucket) was referring to "Wedding of the Waters" about the Erie Canal is aviable used through Amazon.com in either paperback or hardcover for $6 to $12. I just ordered mine in hard copy for approx $12 and that included shipping...

Herb---this tug reminds me of a Pilgrim, except it appears to be possibly wooden. I know those guys in Maine can still build some great wooden boats. If it is actually from Maine orginially, this could be a one of a kind design. This is like something I would buy! ----Rich

Hi All--- looks like we will be joining you on the Aug 8th Erie Canal Cruise. Still trying to make arrangements for the proper boat.--- Rich

Thanks Rick & Fred-- The last time I launched at Macedon and meet everyone at Fairport that evening. Are you planning on being in Fairport on Sun. or Mon? I'm making plans for a 40'+ English/Dutch Canal Barge to pick up either at Macedon or Fairport for possibly 2 C-Dory couples and 1 guest...

Hi All--Do we as have a schedule of sorts? I expect we will leaving Seneca Falls on Sunday and getting to Fairport that p.m. for dinner. unsure of stops after that, except maybe Richardson's Canal House in Pittsford. Trying to make plans for a charter boat. Thanks Rich

Thanks Rick---- I will check with the barge companies Monday. Im sure I saw some farther west around Medina or where that Italian restaurant was located that the owners were friends of Terry(Last Dance) & his sister. Are you going to be staying at the B & B again in S. Falls? Are you going to...

Thanks Rick-- I'll check this Mon.

Nick- thanks for the info. Looks like Aug will be the best time for me. I'll try to make plans now to get a large enough canal boat with A/C for use as a mother ship or else as a party barge for everyone. I assume we are talking from the 8th of Aug to around the 15th.---Rich
