Stats so far

This is Ken and wanted to do a post of our stats so far. No fancy photos, post scripts from Roofus or anything like that.

We are currently sitting in Brewerton, NY waiting on a part that is due today. Not a big problem since the Oswego Canal is closed due to high water flow from all of the rain over the last several days and will not reopen until sometime this weekend, we hope. We would be at the Oswego Canal in just 8 miles so we would be here anyway.

So far below are our stats on our trip:

Miles traveled              771
Days traveled                 13
Hours traveled               90
Fuel consumed             552 gal
Ave speed                       8.5 MPH
Locks traversed             22
Bridges crossed under   64
Tunnels crossed              6
Days lost to weather      12
Days lost to repairs          2


We are having a great time and still on schedule in spite of the days we have been delayed for weather and repairs. We have seen some wonderful sights along the way including thousands of ducks, baby ducks, geese and baby geese, hundreds of dolphins, one whale surfaced about 20 feet off the side of the boat, snakes, fish jumping, museums, homes, boats, sunrises, sunsets and all of the things that make life great. The people we have met along the way have been fantastic and very helpful. Can't beat it, especially getting to share it with Linda and Roofus.

Hopefully, we will be to Lake Ontario early next week and if the weather cooperates, maybe into the St Lawrence Seaway and the thousand islands area the middle of the week. Then it is on to Montreal and the Canadian canals.
