We took our time on Monday, September 24 and left at 10:45 for a short three and a half hour cruise to Brockport. Jonny was still trying to straighten out the problem with not having received his insulin delivery yet. We’re now hoping to get it delivered to Rochester at the home of our friend David’s sister. The day was gorgeous and we couldn’t believe how beautiful this part of the Erie Canal is - a combination of pastoral landscapes with vineyards and quaint villages. Really special!
We were thinking of going to Spencerport but David Brayer got us in touch with one of his local buddies who advised us to go to Brockport instead and so we did. We tied up at the village dock and walked a few yards away to the little visitor’s center/harbor office which was staffed by volunteers. The couple on duty were very helpful and the woman offered to drive Lynn to the local Wegman’s to go grocery shopping. We wanted to stock up for the upcoming visit of our friends Addie and Lange who were coming to help celebrate Lynn’s birthday.
Jonny did boat chores and afterwards we walked into the charming town so he could have a beer at the local pub. Brockport is quite old and quaint but lively as it is a college town with the College at Brockport, State University of New York there. The architecture was beautiful and it would be easy to to stay an extra day if we had the time.
That evening Jonny made a nice dinner of perch and salad while Lynn did laundry. Later that evening, Lynn prepared a batch of turkey chili to have with the Kings as the next couple of days were predicted to be rainy and chilly.
