After an enjoyable breakfast at Dewey's canal side restaurant, we said goodbye to Joe and Joy as they headed back to New Hampshire. We filled the water tanks, emptied the holding tank and were then good to go for another week. Steve's idea of sticking the tv antennae on the boat hook was a great one - we ended up with enough channels to see the golf finals as well as the football game Sunday night.
Yesterday was a long travel day (38 miles/6 mph = 6.5 hours of travel) so we stopped and anchored on a small lake for a couple of hours since the day was so perfect. It was a great bird spotting day as we saw 2 adult bald eagles sitting in trees next to the canal (so 30 feet from us), one immature eagle flew right down the canal and over the boat, a couple of osprey were diving and fishing around our anchor spot and to top it off, four adults eagles complete with white head and tail feathers were soaring over the lake! It was really something to see.
The town of Baldwinsville is built around the lock - very similar to Bobcaygeon on the Trent. Mail delivery is working well as we had the mail forwarding service send the mail to general deliver here and we just needed to stop in and pick it up. The only thing we were really looking for were Steve's fishing license and our insurance cards. Both arrived safely. Today is maybe a work day - haven't decided yet :-) Regardless, I think we'll stay another night - it's so nice here.
