Harry's mother, Malinda, joined us at Waterford to do the canals with us.  It was a really enjoyable trip with lots of sightseeing too.  

We started at the Waterford Flight, then progressed through the canals all the way to Oswego NY on Lake Ontario.  Some memorable touring at Fort Stanwyx, a pre-Revolutionary War fort in Rome NY, a classic car show at Sylvan Beach NY, and Fort Ontario in Oswego. 

The mast went back in at the Oswego Municipal Marina.
