Lockport, NY

It was a cold and cloudy day on Saturday, September 22.  We waited around all morning to see if Jonny’s insulin would arrive at the local harbor host’s home to which it was being mailed.  Initially Jonny was going to Uber back to the museum where we had forgotten the backpack he carried but when the harbor host said she would happily pick it up, we decided to go ahead and leave for Lockport.

We bundled up in sweatshirts and jackets and cruised for awhile from the fly bridge until it got too chilly and we went below and cruised from the saloon. 

We wanted to take Stephanie through a locking experience on this last full day of her visit.  But when we arrived at the lock in Lockport and began to enter it, the lockmaster told us the best place to tie up would be just before the lock, so we backed out of the lock for the first time ever.  It turned out that Lockport was a charming town with a winery, Five Flights Winery (named after the original flight of five locks that has since been consolidated to two).  After tying up we walked up to the winery which was just above the lock.

Even though Lynn and Stephanie had decided that this would be their first day on Weight Watchers, they tossed caution to the winds in honor of Stephanie’s last day of vacation.  All three of us had a a flight of wine and shared a cheese plate.  It was a cool place, quite historic and a lot of fun!

Afterwards Stephanie wanted to watch Florida State play the University of  Nothern  Illinois so we went to the local sports bar to watch the game. It was also a cool place so we stayed for dinner and Stephanie and Lynn tried to be good by ordering salads.  Thankfully, FSU won handily!

We walked back to Zendo admiring the charming town of Lockport.

On our last night on board Zendo with Stephanie we watched a movie that she recommended called Baby Driver.  And still no insulin shipment has arrived...
