Last night when we were getting ready for bed I commented to Wayne that it was the first day since we left home that I didn't feel sticky with perspiration (he agreed, so it's not what you think). We slept with a quilt over us for the first time. This morning it was downright chilly and I threw on a pair of sweats...very quickly, I might add. We have been blessed with beautiful boating weather and very little rain, but would appreciate more wind so we could sail more.
We traveled 60 nautical miles in about 9-10 hours today and made it through three locks, which leaves us four tomorrow. We went with five other pleasure craft, rafted together in pairs with the larger vessel (that would be us) next to the lock wall. We hardly waited at all, which is amazing since our book says the wait could be "as little as thirty minutes but not usually longer than four hours." Of course, we’ll probably make up for it tomorrow.

Tonight we're anchored off the islands at St. Regis. This area is an Indian reservation and half the town of St. Regis is situated in New York and the other half in the Province of Quebec.
Trying to leave you a message. We were members at Mt.Olivet for years and are currently full-time residents in Ft.Myers, FL. God's speed. Let us know if you get this. Bruce and Bonnie Peterson at bruceboni@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteI certainly do remember you (and all those cute daughters), Bruce and Bonnie...in fact, I know I saw you at the Fort Myers Flea Market at least once. How fun to hear from you! How do you like Fort Myers and where abouts are you?
