Our 8th leg ended on August 24, 2008 after 22 days. We had rowed all of the Erie Canal from Tonawanda to Waterford, NY with the exception of rowing across lake Oneida which we drove around because of reports of dangerous chop and speed boat traffic. Though we encountered some thunderstorms and threatening weather we were never really slowed down by the weather.  We had, as usual, some wonderful experiences and contacts with the Habitat folks we met.

 

I do want to thank all of those that contributed to our campaign to raise money for the Habitat Affiliates that we visited. Your generosity will help a wonderful cause. 

 

I will contact you before we launch again.
