Thursday, June 7, 2012


We stayed at Ess-Kay Yards, Inc. today.  This morning, we borrowed the courtesy car again.  First we went to West Marine, but they didn't have any of the things we were looking for.  We had not been using our good Cannon camera because the software is not compatible with this computer.  The software is too old.  We tried to download what we needed from their website and were told that it is not available for Windows 7.  Besides that, the disk that goes into the camera does not fit into the slot on the computer or on the printer.  So, we went to Staples, and found an adapter that will handle 50 different memory devices and plugs into the USB port.  It was $15 and works like a champ.  Not only that, but it also allowed me to download an image manipulator / editor for free.  Now I can get rid of red eye, crop pictures, brighten them, sharpen them, make them sepia toned, and so much more. I am so excited.  Now the pictures John took in New York harbor with that camera are available for viewing.  I will put a couple of them on the blog tonight.

We had a great Happy Hour tonight.  There were 6 couples around the picnic table.  One couple Dave and Barb have done the Trent Severn a couple of times before and at the end of Happy Hour, they went lock by lock and told us what to expect.  We've got several pages of notes.  One couple here today is Eddie and Sandi on "Tarquin".  This is the third time our paths have crossed. It was nice to see them pull in this afternoon.

Statue of Liberty 


 At first glance, this looks like a psychodelic boat from the 60s, but those are really rust holes.
