We spent last night at the Yacht Club in Dunkirk, New York and met some of the nicest people you can imagine. The YC is a little tricky to enter due to low water, so a couple came out in a small power boat and guided us to our slip, where three other members met us and help tie us up. Laurie and I went for a long walk and got to see the town.
We left in the morning and had an easy run to Buffalo and docked at the Buffalo Yacht Club. This club was established in 1860 and is said to be the 3rd oldest YC in the nation. It is a great club and the people have been very welcoming and helpful.
From the harbor, we can see the Peace Bridge, which connects Buffalo to Fort Erie, Ontario.
We have an appointment to have our mast taken down in two days, then we will motor under the Peace Bridge and head a few miles to the town of Tonawanda and enter the Erie Canal.
