The Erie Canal (Part 2 and 3) - St. Johnsville, Ilion, Sylvan Beach, and Winter Harbor

The 2nd and 3rd parts to the Erie Canal are much like the first part...full of locks and small towns. We were on the move everyday landing at a marina/free wall in time for dinner, brief touring and some relaxation before doing it all over again! We completed the Erie Canal in 6 days transiting 29 locks (plus one lock in Troy before entering the Erie).
Next up for us is the Oswego Canal with 8 locks, we will spend a couple days (waiting for weather) in a marina before we separate from our buddies and head towards the Welland Canal.

Ilion Marina complete with a ice cream/sandwhich shop called Voss's.
Walking in town to get some groceries and Chinese food...of course in the rain.
We have traveled a couple days with new Looper friends, Deby and Mike on Moondance...this is their dog Lily

Sylvan Beach
Sylvan Beach has a fun amusement park...of course only open from Wednesday-Sunday...It was a Monday while we were here.
