The Maiden Voyage

The village where we live is located on the old Erie Canal. That is where we decided to see if our hand-me-down canoe was sea worthy. It was- for the most part. There was a slight leak but that has been patched. The paddles came from my in-law's garage. We have 3 floatation seats and got an unbelieveable deal on floatation vests. ($54.96 vests for $8!)

It was a fun maiden voyage. Hopefully, we'll see a lake on Labor Day.






A beautiful evening on the canal!

  2. O! the summer breeze of the canal must feel wonderful. The canoe looks a lot of summer fun....we are heading into spring here now and I look forward to those lazy days of summer after a very cold winter.....even as I type this it is still very cold outside.

    best wishes to you Lee-ann in Australia.
