Let's try this again

To those of you who were tracking my Progress north in the spring, I am sorry that I didn't keep up with the blog. Once I got behind in my entries it just lost it's priority. Writing from my notes just didn't do it for me. Now that I'm getting ready to head south again, and so many people have ask me to, I will try to keep up with it again for this trip.

The remainder of the trip north was fabulous. I really had no problems, and the scenery was great. The weather did it's thing and I had to cancel the Chesapeake tour, and we saw some snow in the Erie Canal; but all in all it was a wonderful trip.

The summer was entirely too short, and I have so many trip in the Great Lakes to do in the future. Most of the time was spent around the west end of Lake Erie just getting use to the area.

There have been no problems with the boat except for damaging the props in the Detroit River when I was on the phone to US immigration and I forgot to drive the boat.

So now it's time to start South. The boat is serviced, packed and provisioned and ready to get back into salt water. Lois and I are heading out this morning (9/16/06) and headed to Fairport today and then on to the Welland Canal, into Lake Ontario, down the Oswego Canal and into Syracuse. I'm really excited to get going again.

I will really try to keep you up to date this time.
