A new passenger - Sarah!

After an action-packed 2 days of visiting Wayne's sisters in Pennsylvania ( where we celebrated his birthday on the 5th), we are now back on the Canal with Sarah as our newest crew member. She has become the technical support officer as she is the one who really knows how to load digital photos to the internet, etc. She has been settling into the canal routine quite well, and is an important addition to our lock team and dock team. It really is nice to have one more crew member around to catch dock lines and fend off the boat. Sarah is a pro! We are both sitting in the library in Baldwinsville, NY - she using Wayne's laptop wireless and me at one of the big towers I like so much. Not much really to report - after Great Lakes sailing the canal is so easy. We are headed to Sylvan Beach after crossing Lake Oneida tomorrow where we anticipate amusing Miss Sarah with an amusement park. It must be said, however, that all of the towns along the canal have been very welcoming, and the ability to connect with friends and family via internet is fabulous.
