| Canal on a warm summer weekend (Gateway Harbor) |
Winds have been 15-20 MPH with gusts over 30 off/on for the past three days. Sunday, 27 June winds were particularly strong. Friday and Saturday night this place was hopping. Fortunately, local boaters do not raft up to transits, but everyone seems to come to “town” and tie up on the north and south walls. Restaurants packed, music playing and folks cruising the waterways. For the most part, it dies down around 2200.
We have walked all over. Great trails for hiking and biking. Visited the shops, grocery stores, dollar this ‘n that and even a coffee shop now and then. Many loopers in 30-40+ foot boats all along the walls waiting for the weather window. We have visited with many.
Monday 28 June, we will leave and proceed west, then south on the Niagara river. One lock, Black Rock lock will be a five foot lift up to lake level as we enter Buffalo harbor. We will anchor or go to one of the walls within the harbor for the day. Winds forecast to diminish throughout the day with Tuesday looking excellent for our beginning leg across Lake Erie.
