We were pushing on as it was the end of September and our original plans were to get to the marina in Lelystad, Netherlands in early October. Unfortunately Janice was having some medical problems which caused her problems with doing too much on the boat so we were taking it slower than normal. This gave us an excuse to make a few stops on the way. Our first stopping off place for an overnight was... Read Full Entry

Like so many others we love to travel and we love to sail so cruising makes a lot of sense. Janice has retired from Cornell as a business manager and Bob has retired from South Seneca school district as the high school principal. It's time to sell the house, get rid of whatever doesn't fit on our 40 foot Caliber LRC named Tsamaya (this means Travel Well in Setswana) and set off to see the world. Our reasons for publishing this blog is twofold, first to keep in touch with our friends and family and secondly to share our experiences.

Grou, Sneek, and Lemmer
Good Morning, Friends, Loved the pictures and tons of different boats. I can see where places like this and traveling through the canal is favored. You answered one question I had about ice on the canal. I figured that it might be difficult to use the boats in the winter, but do they leave them there or store them on dry dock. Checking their latitude means that it can get pretty cold there, but I also know that salt water has a much lower freeze temp. Just an interesting thing that pops into my head while looking, readying, and digesting. Love the shops along the canal, which I believe just doubles the value and intrigue of the water ways. Traveling the Erie, the quiet between towns is nice, but docking and walking gives a whole new perspective of the areas. We enjoyed Fairport and Newark the most, but never traveled east of Oneida Lake. From time to time we talk about missing the boat, but just was not practical for us any more. Too much money and we stopped using it. Aging has a lot to do with decisions we make as I am sure you understand. Even the RV isjust sitting there, but just not ready to let it go. I am sure you are anxious to get back to the Tsamaya and continue on your adventures. Stay well, take care, and hoping to see you soon. hugs...xox...c & b
