we have been cruising the east coast for 3mths so far and have had a great time in doing so. Many stops to catch up with friends and waiting out for friends to catch up to us. We did get to the chesepeake and hung out there for 3-4 weeks. "love the bay". Before that we had a good visit at dowry creek in NC. That marina is like home to us. After a great time there we made way north as you seen the dismal swamp, through NC to VA. We are happy to be in New York, seeing some of the sights we just adored and seeing new sights. A town called Coxsackie was alot of fun for us this time around. We met people from the yacht club that just took us in like old friends. I even thought I could of stayed and lived there for awhile. We become CYC members as we have been in KY. Never go without a good time on the peacekeeper. So we did have to say good-bye and make way north will see them again, we made way again, up north more we seen our friend (Fred) his boat "North Star" was anchored out too bad he was out for the day see ya next time Fred. Hope he makes it to Mi. Today we are in the western half of the Erie, around Rochester. this half of the Erie has many towns that offer boaters all the amenities we need. As long as you can clear brdgs. at a height of 15.9 the lowest. They don't see many big boats around here. So this is a sight to see us on the river. These brdgs lift to 17ft. so we can get through. cruising under some of these brdgs just takes our breath away.Well we have to move to buffalo in a day or so to make Mi. by Wed. the 9th June. Hope the weather holds out, will let you know how it does. Enjoy the pics.
