Well we didn’t get very far – in fact we’re still here in Whitehall, NY where we were yesterday! It looks like we’ll be here for a few more days due to bad weather 60 miles north of here. The winds are blowing at 35 mph out of the south and that’s not good for a boat moving north on a long body of water that runs north and south! When the weather gets better we will move on. When we do arrive in Burlington, VT there may be a slight delay in pulling the boat out and placing her on land. We’ll work through those details when we get there.
Last night we had a great dinner aboard SEA STRUCK and celebrated Steve’s birthday. We truly enjoyed their company and the evening.
At present it’s raining and were waiting for it to stop for we can walk to the library and log onto the internet. We are truly isolated here – our cell phones don’t work so we walked a mile to purchase a telephone card to make a few important calls! I didn’t read the fine print and the public phone ate most of the minutes on the card as a special charge regulated by the XYZ penal code of looking out the window or something like that! It’s very frustrating, when you can’t communicate with the ship yard, that’s scheduled to hall the boat. At some point, Barb and I need to start planning our return trip home.
Tomorrow Tom and Doris Burdick are going to stop for a visit on their way back to Wisconsin. Hopefully we shouldn’t be that hard to locate in the canal. Tom, if you’re reading this, we’re a quarter mile before lock number 12 and we are north bound. Below is a picture of the three boats tied up at the wall together – Moor $tuff is the smallest of the three.
