The Erie Canal to Kingston

This is a guy living on his little house-boat on the Erie Canal. It's a bit weird(crazy). You can see his little chimney and his table outside.
This is another boat entering Lock 17 before us. The big concrete gate is a bit scary to go under...you wouldn't want it falling on your head. Most of the locks have gates that swing on hinges like a regular door but this one drops down behind you.
This is Steve and I fending off the boat in a lock. The walls are really slimy so we wore gloves. The boat got covered in slime and gunk and Dad wasn't very happy. We went through a lot of locks. I think it was over 20 but I'm not sure.
This is at the farmers market in Oswego. We put up the mast and once everything was done, we went to the farmers market. This is a guy cooking popcorn. We found it amusing that he had to wear a welding mask to protect him from the popping popcorn. They added sugar to the popcorn and it made it taste really different but weird. The popcorn came in huge bags a foot and a half tall and Steve could barely hold it in one arm. It was HUGE!!! Dad didn't like it so Mom, Steve and I got more.
CANADA!!!!! We crossed Lake Ontario (there was absolutely no wind so we had to motor) and Steve and I stood on the bow so that we would be the first ones in Canada. We were also the first ones to step onto land in Canada. We were out of the country for 321 days. 93 of those days were in the Bahamas. We're finally home!!!!
