You see all kinds of craft on the canal. Never talked to the owner. picturepictureTieing off my boat was easy as the beam and the stern was about the same. Real straight. I just tied onto the wench and warped around a wire, pile or wrope. Most of the time the boat just went down without any attention. Gloves are recommended and dock pole required. picturepicturepicturepictureNice town, Baldwinsville picturepictureFree wall pictureThe first time that I have see wild swans. pictureTurtles picturewhich way? I had to think about it. pictureSunrise tied to a lock wall pictureKids Playing pictureInteresting church pictureAn MacGregor X found me in Brewerton and a local to! picture |
