“We all come from the sea, but we are not all of the sea. Those of us who are, we children of the tides, must return to it again and again, until the day we don't come back leaving behind only that which was touched along the way.” ―Frosty Hesson
It's been a wet cool spring so we weren't in a hurry to get the boat launched. To be honest we were enjoying our home and time with our family and didn't even mind waiting till the weather improved. It seems there is something fun going on all the time in Pennsylvania. We picked an absolutely wonderful week to move the boat to the marina. Lots of sunshine, warm afternoons and cool nights that made sleeping on the boat very nice.
We took advantage of the sunshine to visit a few of our favorite places. A trip to Sheldrake Point Winery is our traditional way to welcome the start to our summer season in the Finger Lakes. It was a beautiful day but a bit too cool for a picnic by the lake. So we enjoyed one of their sandwiches and then sat in the sun on their lawn…all while enjoying a bottle of their dry rieslings.
Another day we drove over to Watkins Glen. A cute little town that sits on the south end of Seneca Lake. We had lunch at Lucky Hare Brewing overlooking the marina and we watched the boats moving around on the lake. We walked along the water and wandered around town doing a little shopping before heading up the west side of the lake to hunt for a waterfall we haven’t seen before. Another perfect weather day.
We celebrated our first night back to the lake with dinner at the Flint & Stave in Seneca Falls.
