We have been a little behind in posting due to a lack of internet connections. So now we will bring you up to date.
After a series of thunderstorms, we finally left the Erie Yacht Club and headed out to Dunkirk, NY on Sunday, August 7th. In very strong following seas and winds we made Dunkirk Yacht Club in only 6 hours. We were greeted by six club members to help us land the boat, and treated us to numberous dollar beers. I thought I was in Mexico. The club members buried us with more advice for our trip than you could get from 20 guide books. One of the members, Jim Christy, even gave Margaret a bag of vegetables from his garden. What a great place.

| Our first view of Buffalo |
On Monday, after numerous cups of coffee with our new "best" friends, we left Dunkirk Yacht Club, the friendliest yacht club I've ever visited, and headed east to Buffalo. Five and a half hours later we arrived at the Buffalo Yacht Club and began the work of stripping down our boat in preparation to having the mast unstepped. Sails had to be removed, and all rigging had to be strapped to the mast. Exhausting work. Marg made an incredible meal for dinner which made it all okay.
