We moved a short 11 miles east on the canal to Albion - county seat for Orleans county. Lots of Medina sandstone buildings (from the town we just left). The Brooklyn Bridge also has sandstone from Medina so that was fun to know.
On the way, we crossed over the road that is listed in Ripley's Believe it or Not as being the only road that crosses under the canal. We would have missed it if not for the guide book as it was very non-descript.
The rental canal boats arrived today. They are out of Rochester and apparently the rentals start on Monday - it very much like the arrival of the Happy Days houseboats into Bobcaygeon on Friday nights. Not nearly as much fun though as these boats are much narrower and have a bow thruster to assist in getting the boat to the dock. Cute things though.
Tried to take a timed picture of the neat mural next to the dock - I couldn't get to it in time :-)
Work continues on the flybridge teak with the first coat of finish. Two or three more coats over the next few days should finish it off. Finally after 4 years of owning this boat, all of the outside teak will be finished!!
