Buffalo, NY on Lake Erie

Thursday was another motor sail day with 2-3 foot waves.  Just as we passed the Buffalo Harbor Light, we fueled up at one of the few places that have diesel fuel.  We went up the Black Rock Canal through two opening bridges and one lock to arrive at Rich Marine where the mast was taken down to prepare for the Erie Canal.  We tied up next to the most wonderful couple living on m/v M and M.  Mario and Maria have been living on their boat for some time and invited us over for dinner with their relatives, Joe and Rosa, and Peter and Agnes.  We had the most awesome dinner with some great people and everything was homemade, including the bread and the wine.  How lucky were we to have these fantastic boat neighbors!  We rented a car as we will be here until Monday to give us time to re-provision, shop and buy more boat supplies.  The mast was taken down on Friday – Silent Dream doesn’t look the same!
