Friday Aug 28: Pittsford, NY

We spent last night at Spencerport. Another small town with a nice dock and free tie-ups. The most we have spent on dockage on the canal was $8 at Brockport - all other places have been free and provide electricity and water at no charge also. Quite amazing to us considering the pass to travel the Erie Canal system for the season was only $75. The needlepoints are now hung in what has become Steve's bathroom (the forward one). We still have some work to do around the porthole but the pictures look great! The weather has definitely changed. I actually have jeans on and have taken to reading in the forward cabin. Steve says it's my nest - he might be right! It's very cozy on a cool day and I have my brown's blanket (thank you, Wendy!) as a light cover.

The canal around Rochester was once again very different. Many bridges and traveling next to I-480 was very strange. I'm sure we have driven on this road and never realized the canal was right next door!

Tonight we'll stay in Pittsford - and possibly tomorrow (Sat) night as well. The next town (Fairport) is one of the most popular on the system (so we are told). This plus the fact they are having a festival means we stay put until Sunday night when docking will open up.
