"The sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in
its net of wonder forever."—Jacques Cousteau

June 17 - Waterfalls and Small Town Charm

Spencerport Town Dock

“It’s the preoccupation with possessions, more than anything else, that prevents us from living freely and nobly.” —Bertrand Russell

We made another stop along the way today. The small town of Holley has a pretty park that provides free docking. It's just a short walk through the park to the Holley Canal Falls. The falls are about 35 ft and are fed from the overflow water from the Erie Canal. The water empties into the East Branch of Sandy Creek and eventually makes its way to Lake Ontario. It made a nice place to stretch our legs and have lunch.

After our little break we headed east and spent the night in Spencerport. The weather has really gotten hot and it felt wonderful to get plugged in and start the AC. We plan on taking a day off tomorrow and enjoy the AC and Internet while we wait for the next cool front to move in. One good thing about a heat wave here...you know they won't last long.

Every Sunday evening there is music at the gazebo in Spencerport, next to where we docked earlier in the week
