St. Ours

                                 Sunsets never get old!                  Boomerang and Stay Cool on the lock wall.                             Entering or exiting the lock?                                    Looks like a castle.                                     So many churches!                   Beautiful temples rising up from the trees!                    Another church - quite elaborate spire!                                   ...

Chambly Locks

Jeff and I. One of the swing bridges. We visited Firt Chambly. The fort. A slot in the walls for firing guns.                                  Such a uniques bridge.                                        Some graffiti.     The lock masters headquarters - most of these are restored.                                      One of the locks.                                     Lock wall at sunset.                                     Beautiful cruising.                       ...

                   We’re seeing both flags at Rouses Point!    We saw Fort Montgomery - it was built in 1844 to defend the            United States from British Canada. Also referred to as         “Fort Blunder,” due to some messed up boundary lines.                                            Look it up.                                       Pretty cruising!  Today is May 29 and tomorrow we will be in Canada. We’re staying at Gaines Marina. We will go through customs first thing in the morning. There’s a port of entry station that we dock on and Jeff will go in with our passports.  Only one person can enter the station. Hopefully, everything will go smoothly. We’ve he...

So pretty! The kids were enjoying the fountain. Cute downtown. Nice stone sculptures. Mermaid sculpture. Another sculpture.            Lake Champlain and The Adirondack Mountains.                                          A lighthouse.                          Another view of the lighthouse.            Now that’s some deep water on Lake Champlain.                                     Gorgeous sunsets!                                           Beautiful! Burlington was a great stop!  We stayed at Boathouse Marina, which was right downtown. The downtown are had so much...

Whitehall, NY

The picturesque town of Whitehall, NY. So pretty. I think it’s an otter.                                                Ducks.                                            Fisherman.                                     On the Hudson River.                                 The “Shack” - literally.                                    The Skeen Mansion.    “Whitehall, NY; Birthplace of the US Navy; We will never                          ...
