Brockport to Lyons

Saturday we left Brockport headed to Spencerport.  We got a very nice surprise!  Spencerport Fire Department was having their annual festival!   It was pretty good size with two bands and the Fire Department was running a charity casino right on the canal.  Talk about great timing!   


Sunsetting over Spencerport.




Roxie enjoying a walk around the boat.


We made our donation to charity on the Black Jack table.  



The bands were really good!  Begging Angles and Trist.  



Sunday we slept in and had a big breakfast before heading out on our 5 hour run to Fairport.  We will have multiple fixed bridges, a couple of lift bridges and two locks to transverse today.


One of the fixed bridges was close!



Sunday afternoon we settled down on the wall in the village of Fairport, NY.   Had dinner at Donnely's Public House.


Woke up to rain today.  "Rainy days and Mondays always get me down"....but just for a second. 😊

The forecast is for rain all day and we were itching to go so after I got off work we pulled our lines and headed out anyway.  We have two locks to go through today. 


So weird to see roads and shopping centers along the canal. 


We got to Newark, NY and stayed on the wall there.  It really did rain all day!  Dinner and movie on the boat!  

Tuesday morning we woke to sunshine!  After work and doing a couple of loads of laundry, we headed out to Lyons, NY.  We had a couple of locks to go through.  

Due to the 2.25 inches of rain the day before, the dams were flowing over.  The lock just before the wall in Lyons had a dam right next to it and it was churning!  The current made docking on the wall in Lyons just a little bit more challenging, but not too bad.   Had dinner at The Pour House.  




Wednesday morning we woke to another full day of rain!  While I worked, Willy walked over to McDonalds to grab breakfast.  We are missing fast food!  He took this pick from the bridge on his way back with a Bacon, Egg and Cheese Biscuit, Hashbrown and large Diet Coke for me!! Yum!
