Cayuga Lake - June 30, 2008

Marck of Belgium (http://www.flickr.com/photos/marck_from_belgium/2660362777/) took one of my photos and played with it. I like the result!

Seneca Falls

Peg and I met up with Al this afternoon at Cayuga Lake State Park ,where he has made some new friends and has had a nice camping experience. He was interviewed by a reporter for the FINGER LAKES TIMES earlier today. Hopefully, I will be able to post the article when it appears.


I managed to get his camera away for a few minutes, so am posting a few photos. You can see the size of the locks that he is going through, which are enormous compared to those on the Canal du Midi in France. Also, shots of Mr. Frei and his mother as he is about to embark on the voyage.

For those wanting to enter the contest, he is not rowing again until early Monday morning, so factor that into your guesses.

Mr. Frei plans on posting some words for you all tomorrow!

Wednesday Evening - Update to last post

I just had a call from Peg. Al actually made it past Montezuma, and is sitting on a bench on Cayuga Lake eating a hamburger. A nearby family was having a cookout and brought it to him. One of their little girls also brought him some dandelions.

Earlier he found a bar with a buffet, and managed to scarf down a lot of food.

He has also befriended someone named George Zeth, who used to build boats, and gave him the address of his Finger Lakes Boating Museum http://www.flbm.org/. The boat on the home page looks very similar to Mr. Frei's. It sounds as though he will be attending the Morehouse Boat Reunion of antique boats this weekend, while getting some rest. http://www.flbm.org/morehouse_boat_reunion_2008.htm
