Erie Canal

We spent several days around the Erie Canal, mostly in the town of Brockport, meeting the locals, boaters, riding the canal tow path, and finding some lovely boondocks, the best being at the town tie-up for canal boats. One couple on a catamaran, mast lashed down for the canal, had been out since 2000, and we enjoyed a bit of cruising talk with some real pros; others were mostly renting small rebuilt canal boats you can rent, bicycles included. I think the canal might get a bit boring after a week or so, but then you'd be almost through to the lakes. It was hot, and humid, and remains so... We are in the East.
