After a tasty rectangular thick-crust pizza for dinner on board last evening and a good night's sleep, we traveled through three locks today on our way to Sylvan Beach. The first lock lifted us to the highest point on the Canal of 420 feet. During the last two locks we now started to reverse the process, and we began to drop rather than lift. "Reflection" was accompanied by "Samira" with our new friends John and Donna from Seneca, Illinois, and both boats stayed at Mariner's Landing. Sylvan Beach is a cute old lake-shore community on Oneida Lake. It has a four mile long beach and lots of cottages, restaurants, and even a small amusement park. It was "Bikers on the Beach" night, and hundreds of bikers converged on the town. Of course, the four of us fit right in! No, we did not get any tattoos! Everyone was well-behaved, and we had a fun evening watching all the action while eating on the porch of "Yesterday's Hotel" which overlooked the lake and the canal.
Al and Pat have become bikers....now that is a news item!!!
