August 29, 2006 The start of the Erie Canal



Tied the mast on top today and headed for Tonawanda, NY, the east entrance to the Erie Canal. Made it through Black Rock Lock after a slight delay due to a huge gas barge which left us in a large wake next to the wall. We tied up part way down and hopped a fence to get to a really big Westmarine store where we purchased a few things. Made Tonawanda, tied up and Mark got stung on the finger by a bee. We met another sailboat heading south called Abilene. Had dinner at a little downstairs bar and went to bed.
