Hello Everyone and Welcome to our Blog
As some of you already know, we had several issues that have kept us here in Hamilton a little longer than we had planned. Firstly, part of the Erie Canal was closed for repairs due to damage from the last hurricane and secondly, we noticed leaks from both of the stern tubes. We need to lift the boat out of the water and change the seals, but we'll wait until we get into the "warm" before we do it.
This info is Greek to some of you who are non-boaters, but don't dismay, we won't be writing only about boat stuff in this blog. We plan to have sections (such as: where we are, what it's like, the people we meet, navigation issues etc.) and pictures too. So, if there is a section that is of no interest to you, feel free to skip it.
This posting is short and sweet. We wanted to let you all know that we will be heading out this week, and will be in Toronto Harbour for a day or two, then Frenchman's Bay (Pickering) for a week or two so that Dave can meet his new grandson and say goodbye to his kids and grandkids. Then we will head across Lake Ontario to Oswego New York where we will start into the New York Canal system. We have to be at a certain point in the system by November 21 when they will be opening up the currently closed locks.
We also wanted to test out this blog site and to test out all of your email addresses in case some bounce back or there are others that we need to add.
To Amy at KPMG: I seem to have lost the email address for Nancy (PriceWaterhouse). Could you ask her to email me at patdave.hehope@gmail.com? Then I can include her in this list. Thanks.
Well, that's all for now folks. We will send out a new post as soon as we hit Oswego.
Pat and Dave
