7/27/16 – 8/18/16 Back to Baltimore
7/27/16 – 7/28/16 Brewerton cont’d
Well
good news, there was no fuel leaking into the oil. So Ken replaced the primer
pump and did another oil change and things seem to be OK. So we decided it was
time to head for Baltimore.
7/29/16 Ilion,
NY
The boat
ran great! That was a really big relief. We got a little bit of a shower on our
way through Sylvan Beach.
7/30/16 -7/31/16 St. Johnsville, NY
This was
a very small town, but it had some interesting scenery.
8/1/16 – 8/2/16 Scotia, NY
This was
a great stop. We stayed at the municipal pier, which was adjacent to a
wonderful park. The city itself was not real touristy, so it was quite nice.
8/3/16 Waterford, NY
This is
the end of the Erie Canal. We actually have one more lock tomorrow on the
Hudson in Troy NY and then we won’t have another until we get to Virginia.
Check
out this French boat that was on the wall behind us. And this other one from Canada also.

We
didn’t get to see this barge go all the way into the lock, but I thought it was
a good picture.
8/4/16 Catskill, NY
This was the beginning of our trip down the Hudson.
It took us past Albany.
Our
destination was Riverview Marina once again. This is a really cute little port.
8/5/16 Poughkeepsie NY
This as
a quick stopover since Ken had been watching the ocean weather forecast. It
looks like we may have a 3 day window coming to go ocean bound from New York to
the Delaware Bay.
We had a
great dinner at the Shadows restaurant.
8/6/16 Croton on Hudson, NY
Here are
some of the sights heading down the Hudson. Our destination once again was Half
Moon Bay.
8/7/16 Atlantic Highlands, NJ
Today’s trip
takes us down the lower Hudson River and through the Harbor. Below are some
shots of coming into New York City from the north.
This was
a Sunday and the tourists were out in the harbor. It gets very crazy going
through here. There are boats everywhere going in every direction.
And of course, the Statue of Liberty!
8/8/16 Atlantic City
The
weather window held so this was a 95 mile Ocean trip around Sandy Hook and down
the Atlantic. We got a very early start and had a wonderful cruise.
8/9/16 Cape May NJ
This was
another Ocean trip, but only 44 miles. Here are some shots along the way.

| Atlantic City Pier |
We
stayed at Utsch’s Marina again. Had a very nice dinner at the Lobster House and
turned in early again.
8/10//16 Chesapeake City, MD
This was
a 73 mile trip up the Delaware River/Bay and then down the C & D Canal. The
Delaware River can often be very rough, but again the weather was good, so it was a nice ride.
There’s
lots of big traffic on the Delaware.
This is
coming into Chesapeake City and our destination, Schaeffer’s Canal House, where
we had a wonderful dinner.
8/11/16 – 8/17/16 Baltimore Inner
Harbor, MD
This 53
mile trip took us down the remainder of the C & D Canal and then down the
Chesapeake Bay to the Patapsco River.
This is
probably the last time we will see the Carroll Island Power Plant from the
water. For many years this was our guide into our home on Seneca Creek.
From
here we will be heading to Myrtle Beach, SC where we plan to find a nice
condo and settle down on land.
Please
get in touch and come see us before we leave.
Check
back in October for our last posting.
Congratulations!!!
Samantha and Bobby Ford
On
their marriage on September 16th
Sam is our oldest granddaughter.
