Doings during the interim

Sunday, June 25 to Wednesday, June 28 -- Working in Naples 

While Craunological II just sat at her dock in Owen Sound during this period, we were busy traveling down to Naples and moving our stuff out of what used to be our condo (and is owned by someone else as of June 20th). This brief summary is just for the record. 

We got up early on Sunday to catch a nonstop flight to RSW, took a cab to the condo, got our car, went for a quick lunch at Pincher's, then spent the afternoon packing up things and schlepping stuff either to our rental storage unit or to a condo down the hall which friends were gracious enough to let us use as an interim storage depot as well as a place to stay while we were in town. The mover showed up on Monday to pack and on Tuesday to load their truck and take our stuff to their storage facility. We were busy both days packing and schlepping and cleaning. Wednesday was a travel day, with a cab picking us up at 6:20 and our finding a dinner spot in Owen Sound just over twelve hours later, after a two-legged flight to Toronto via Newark and a nice drive from Toronto to Owen Sound (nice once we got out of the city). It was good to be back on the boat again for an early bedtime. 

We will be back in Naples again July 31st thru August 4th to close on the new house and move our stuff out of temporary storage and into the new house. We won't actually "move in" until early September, when we will have finished our Great Lakes boating adventure.

South to Troy, NY -- and last locks this trip

  Friday, September 1 -- Schuylerville to Troy -- 31 miles and 5 locks We left the Schuyler Basin Marina a bit after ten under clear and sunny skies with temps in the low 60s that rose into the high 70s by late afternoon. It was a beautiful day on the Hudson River -- dead calm, with hardly any boat traffic. We saw one other cruising boat underway all day until we reached Troy. The other cruising boat that we saw was a couple from New Zealand (you can see that on their transom if you zoom in) who spend up to ninety days (the US visa limit) every summer (their winter) cruising northern waters out of their base on the Erie Canal in Brewerton. We had a chance to visit a bit while locking through Locks 3 and 4 together. They pulled off for the town dock in Mechanicville while we kept going.  Lock 2 was interesting because they emptied and filled the lock twice before letting us pass through. This is an attempt to try and keep invasive Goby fish out of the upper reaches of the Hudso...
