George and Paqs hanging on. The Erie Canal has a 8 mph speed limit, so they don't need to hang on too tight.

Just enjoying some family time, while Philip drives. I love the Erie Canal. Perhaps we'll be able to return to it one day for another family vacation.

Philip driving our Wellcraft, Happy Ours.

Carol and Luke. The kids are waiting for the opportunity to go swimming.

Luke checking out our wake. I like to keep a hand on him as he is fearless, and often risks falling in the water. Hasn't fallen in yet, but it's just a matter of time.

George and Paqs hanging on. This is Paqs' first boat ride in Happy Ours.

Paqs and I taking a swim. We stopped for a swim in the canal and Paqs, with some encouragement, jumped in too.

Four kids that we picked up in the canal. They were just floating down the canal, wasting away a delightful summer day. So we gave them a ride back to Gasport.

The Wide Waters restaurant. Terrific burgers and fries.
