Winter Cruise Underway

After 2 weeks of fall sailing up Lake Michigan, Down Huron and over on Erie we have arrived at the Erie Canal with both cats safely aboard, although Patches has already learned how to jump off the boat to shore. Our first full day on the Canal provided beautiful pastoral scenes going through 2 locks and 3 lift bridges to our first overnight on the wall in Middleport, NY.

 

Pounce seems content at times to stare at the shoreline but at others prefers to be on the companionway steps safely braced on the slant to the stairs
