As we leave the ESS-KAY YARDS in Brewerton you can see the vessel HARMONY at the dock. Our friends Phil and Virginia are back in Texas and will hopefully catch up with us later on the waterway.
Lock #23, Taylor was the docking assistant for the stern. She did not realize her strength as she was able to easily push a 38,000 pound boat away from the dock wall.
As we apprached the "Three Rivers" our Garmin 2010C Chartplotter again, as it often has on the Erie, has us up on land while actually we are in the middle of the channel. I love my Garmin . . . just sometimes wonder how much to trust it.......
Three Rivers is the intersection of the Erie Canal and the Oswego Canal . . . here we turn North toward Lake Ontario. Buffalo 192 miles to the West, Oswego 24 miles North. We have two days to get there.
On the way to Oswego we completed a planned stop in Phoenix, New York, to visit the "Bridge-House-Brats." Here children of all ages are working to support the Henley Park and will take your lunch, sandwich, or other order to the local merchants and return promptly to you with your food and/or drink. Just after we docked and found we had free docking, twin 30 amp power, water . . . and a very young girl, 8-9, offering us coffee or lemonade.
The kids operate out of the old bridge house and maintain a museum of their town that burned in 1916 and also show current developments including the new Lock #1.
While we intend to only stay tonight, there is a concert at the pravillion just at the end of the park planned for Thursday.
