I have just published pictures from our trip on the Cayuga-Seneca Canal and the first 70 miles of the Erie Canal.

More to come.

Great Photos. Thanks for sharing them with us.

Patty here. Great photos, George, as usual. Very interesting. Love the colorful tugs, etc. And thanks for the map---it helps a lot to visualize.
 
Thanks Rick and Patty.

St. Johnsville to Rome. Miles 70 to 114.

Wanderer-- congratulations on a job well done, maybe this will generate some more interest in the Sept. gathering----Rich
 
Thanks Rich. I don't know if we will go back in Sept. We are looking into taking the RV to Nova Scotia in the middle of Sept. and following the fall colors home.

I've just posted a section on Fort Stanwix. This will be of particular interest to history buffs.

Hey George and Penny! Glad to see yall still having fun and enjoying your boat and the sites. Wish I was traveling with you... Guess I'll just have to put that particular trip off to another day. Take care and safe travels.

Thanks for the great pictures George and Penny. We'll miss you at the canal in September....but Nova Scotia in a Born Free....well that sounds pretty good to us. We did Newfoundland and Nova in 2000 with ours and it was a blast. Some day I'd like to try the Bras O'or lakes in our C-Dory. Now THAT would be fun!

Pat,

Why don’t you plan to travel with us. This winter or early spring, tow that two-winged byrd of yours down to the keys and let’s explore the back side of the Everglades and on up into Pine Island Sound and the Florida ICW. You’ve got plenty of time to put it together. Heck, we’ll even put you and your bride up in the condo before or after we take off. If the weather turns bad, remember, Marathon prides itself as a quiet little drinking town with a fishing problem.

Speaking of towing. What is the latest on the tow rig?
 
Dun and Becky,

I’m glad you enjoyed the pictures. Soon, I’ll be posting some on the western end of the canal. If you want to first see the sights over your own deck, don’t look until you return. On the other hand, an image may whet you anticipation. At the very least, you can inspect docks for water and electricity.

The timing of your Erie Canal cruise is better than ours was. The temperature and humidity were both near 90, for the whole trip, with the chance of thunderstorms varying between 30 and 60 percent.

After your endorsement, we went on line and ordered info on Nova Scotia. Yes, the Born Free is a nice way to travel. One day we need to try a combo of RV and C-Dory. Any ideas?

We'll miss being with you folks.
 
Penny and George,

Yes, central NY can be brutal in July and August. At least thunderstorms can be coped with on the canal. You're never out in the open.

As far as RVing and C-Dorying go, I think the North Channel of Lake Huron, and Manatoulin Island would be perfect for both. I hope to do that soon. The Thousand Islands and the canadian canals are also on the wish list, but you've probably had your fill of canals for one year. Unfortunately, We do not have your luxury of unlimited time, and cannot "wander" as you do. I'm very jealous. Soon...soon!

Enjoy Nova Scotia and Cape Breton. We'll look forward to pictures.

Dun and Becky,

Have you found good campgrounds, with ramps, from which to launch C-Dory day trips among the Canadian waterways?

We would like to try the RV and the C-Dory in combination. Keep us posted.
 
Two new sections, from miles 114 to 201, complete my postings for the Erie Canal east of the Cayuga-Seneca Canal.

I hope to have the western portion finished in a few days.

The sections for Miles 201 to 283 -CS Canal to Holley have been published. This completes our travels of the Erie Canal.

Before long, I will publish images of the Lake Champlain portion of our trip.

Thank you George and Penny. Don't stop wandering and don't stop sharing these interesting photos and travels.

Pat and I love the NY canals and your site and pics brought many fine memories. It is amazing how many things you found that we missed. Next summer we will probably do the east part of the canal to see what we have missed.

Sorry you won't be with us in Sept.

Have fun up north!

The last publishing for this cruise has been done - Lake Champlain. It is not exactly Wandering the NY Canals but close.

:arrow: Mark,
I appreciate your interest. We hope to continue our travels and to publish pictures.

:arrow: Fred and Pat,
From a post of yours on the Erie Canal thread, it appears that we were on the canals at the same time. It would have been nice if we had run into you.

Thanks for you comment about sights seen. I'm still trying to decide if I should have fewer pictures and more words. My intent has been to capture, mostly with pictures, the flavor of cruising in Wanderer.
