We're now in Little Falls New York. The boat is tied up on a wall along the canal and I'm sitting in an ice cream shop that has WiFi while Bob is checking on the wash.
We've had a two lovely sunny fall days and successful lock entrances and exits. It's good to go through locks when the wind is light - so much easier.
We were operating Sea Change rescue service today - notified a marina of one boat that had lost their engine and were too far into the shallows for us to reach and then towed a second that was losing the charge in their little electric motor. We went back to help when after not hearing what they said to us - we continued on - and one of them gave us the "high sign" - so we figured they weren't impressed with our response to whatever they had said and that we should back up to find out what it was!
To friends who have kindly left comments on the blog site - please continue doing so. I have had to change the settings for comments so I'll be reviewing comments before they are posted to the site - I've had a couple of the usual weird type messages that can appear if comments are not "moderated". You can select "anonymous" for your comments and don't have to open a Google account. It's just that now, I'll be able to see the messages first before they appear on the blog.
I'm off to find Bob and the laundry - then it's the grocery store and a search to find a SIM card for the unlocked phone we bought before we left.

Hi Carol and Bob:
Ten days out and it sounds like all is well. Jealousy is sinful, I know but I feel it. Especially when I look at the pictures and I hope you'll keep them coming.
I'm wondering if you get a chance to meet with and talk to local people as you proceed. If wo, what are they talking about and what do they think of your voyage?
We'll continue to read you wonderful fignettes, Carol and thanks for them.
