Saturday - August 11

Fall is in the air this morning - 58 when we got up and a cool ride to Brewerton.    We wore sweatshirts - no sun!    Before we left, we had one more walk to Shamballa Café and another latte/coffee from Emmett.
 
Mark gets notices from the Erie Canal mariner site about various updates (lift bridge closed temporarily; pump out not working; huge canoe/kayak race today on the canal east of Baldwinsville. etc.)   And sure enough....oh my, over a hundred boats out there and we had to dodge around those coming and going at no-wake speeds.   These folks were paddling like there was no tomorrow!!!
 
We arrived at Ess-Kay Boatyard in Brewerton around 12:30 and so good to have Charlotte and Doug meeting us on the dock.    We settled in and then spent the afternoon on their PDQ, "Abbotsford III" catching up. 
 
Liam and Connor won both of their ballgames today so their fall season is off to a good start!
 
We had cocktails and appetizers with Charlotte and Doug on their boat and no end to the chatter.    Soooo fun to be together again,      We went to dinner at 916 Riverside - very good and a wedding reception was in full swing.  
 
Glad to be back in Brewerton and especially hanging out with good friends.     Monday, we'll be back cruising.

Happy Hour coming  up on Abbotsford III
