Sunday, August 30: Fairport, NY

Again a very short travel to Fairport, NY. The lift bridge here is listed in Ripley's Believe It or Not for two reasons: it is the only lift bridge that runs at an angle and because no two angles on the bridge itself are the same. Seemed a bit of a stretch to us but whatever! The town was once again just a quaint canal town - lots of small stores and a very nice waterfront.
The rainy day was well spent watching the final round of the golf tournament that was played outside of New York City. Although Tiger Woods didn't come through with the birdie putt on the 18th and tie for win at the end, the shots of New York City were well worth the time and fun to see. Reminded me of our trip there this spring with Becky.
The weather today was very unsettled. It would be nice and then rain and then nice again. The front rolling through the area was spectacular! One thing the rain does is give Steve a chance to wipe down the boat as we move along the canal. The boat is finally looking nice on the outside with all of the teak finished. Next stop: Newark, NY!
