Cruising on the Canadice
In September of 2008, my wife Bonnie and I took a self-skippered cruise on the Erie Canal to celebrate my 70th birthday. While the trip certainly had a physical dimension, it was also a journey back in time. Back to early 1800’s and the beginning of the westward expansion of the United States, back to a time when my great-grandfather Simeon must have worked alongside and canalled on these same waters. I will be posting the log to that trip.
