Greek's Folly on the Great Loop: Sun and Mon, Aug 13-14 Boldt Castle to Clayton Marina

Sun and Mon, Aug 13-14 Boldt Castle to Clayton Marina

Once again, "salad greens" had to be removed from the anchor and the chain. We must be getting more efficient as it only took 16 minutes today to complete the job. We are traveling through New York now on the St. Lawrence Seaway. The water is choppier because of the winds and being out in the open. The traffic is heavier, mostly because of the weekend and people being on holiday. The traffic looks more like the boat traffic we are used to in Michigan waters. We pull into Clayton Marina - a fairly new facility - and 7 more boats follow us in. It is becoming a popular place. Bikes are off and we are heading to the famous Antique Boat Museum. This museum houses wooden boats and motors. It is a collection of old wooden boats, immaculately restored and they look beautiful. Many hours of work go into making, preserving and the upkeep of the boats. It is a beautiful sight to see them cruising on the water. We explore the town, stop for a beer, stop for ice cream, shop a little and enjoy dining at a waterfront restaurant. This has become our usual routine which we greatly enjoy, so no need to alter it now.

This relaxing day consisted of revisiting town for groceries, a visit to the post office on business, a library stop, and of course shopping for the girls. The town has the necessities for us to enjoy an extra day here. We enjoyed dinner together and watching and meeting the other boaters in the marina. A nice place to visit.
