Seneca Falls again

The view out our window while tied to the high wall in Lyons was spectacular.
After we got away, it turned out to be an eagle day.  
We saw two different pairs and a youngster.








This pair had one on the nest, and another in a nearby tree






Walking through Seneca Falls, you never know who you might run into....................

There's more boats here today than any other town we stopped in.  The guy in the trawler next to us is on his way to Fisherman's Village in Punta Gorda, Florida.



I've learned a trick when tying to town walls.  We run a line through the base of a cleat, and back to the boat, and cleat it on the boat's cleat.  That way, no vandals can set us free in the middle of the night without stepping on the boat, and waking me up--unless of course, they want to cut our lines.  We've had no problems so far.


There are some folks here from Spokane, WA.  They chartered this Nimble Nomad.  Not the most beautiful boat, but ok for the canal.




They left Cayuga Lake bound for Seneca Falls. As I mentioned, when you go through a lock, the lockmaster asks how far you're going today so he can call ahead to let the next lock know you're on the way.  Seems these folks took a wrong turn somewhere, because as they exited a lock, the lockmaster asked that question, and when they said they were headed to Seneca Falls, he told them they were heading the wrong way.  They had to turn around and go back out the lock.

You might have noticed that I sometimes misuse the word hysterical when referring to the houses and museums that Pam enjoys visiting.  Today, we went to the visitor center in Seneca Falls, and Pam asked the attendant where we could find the HYSTERICAL museum.  I laughed so hard--it was historical.
