September 25 - One sleep in




More sun on the canal. An early start for Shirley and Dave but Christopher decided it was a sleep in day - which he announced last night. So off we went with Christopher still sort of snoozing. And wouldn't you know it, about 20 minutes down the canal there's a train bridge and an Amtrak train shoots over it - and guess who didn't see it? So many lessons on this trip, like the early bird gets the worm! But that didn't matter because when he did get up and had breakfast our route took us close to the tracks and we must have seen ten trains go by today. And to top it off we have landed for the night at a dock that is right across the river from the tracks. Doesn' get much better than that! Nice little park here in Canajoharie NY. And only a block and a half to the library with this internet access. Time to run over there and update this and then go BBQ a few pork chops. Tough day today...

Hi, Glad to see things going smoothly. I forgot to mention that Paul and Sheryl were heading down as well. Saw them at Ashbridges over breakfast the day before they left. Enjoy the Barge Canal and some of the towns along the way. Take care on L. Oneda, it is shallow. The Hudson is picturesque, try a stop at West Point, they have moorings in the 1 knot of current.
