Weather, with winds that even brought waves into the canal and the beauty of this town of Brockport has led The captain to stay another day. And guess what? He asked if I wanted to go out to dinner ... amazing how that works.
We spend time doing boat chores. On days like this, chores are on the list of fun things to do. I take the bike and go into town looking for some cables to allow our TV screen connect to the Internet. We have discovered that we can watch shows from the networks when there is no digital cable service nearby. 
Along the way I find a tea shop and buy my favorite organic Chie tea which Ron and I ran out of earlier in the trip when it was colder. I find a gift fore someone....cannot say who until I get home. I stop in at The Bike Shop and pick up a front fender guard so my legs and crotch don't get wet and dirty when riding after the rain. I see on the display wall a basket just like mine. Many people have been looking for one for their own bike, so, I get their card so that I can order online if anyone still wants one. I love using mine and it's especially fun when I put my bear or dog in the basket and ride around as though I was in The Wizard of Oz.
The volunteers at The Office are the best. Linda visits with Ron for some time, and Jack brings us a walking tour guide that he made up himself. Our first "dockmaster" is a fireman and I forget to ask him about the accuracy of a story from the last town.It seems that back in the day, Medina was home to many fire departments. They competed for customers and sold stickers of sorts that were to be placed on your residence. If you had a fire, you had to call the department that you supported. If you did not support a particular department, no one would respond to your fire.
Dinner time, and YES, we are going out. Ron doing the dishes last night worked! We walk down the canal a quarter mile to the bridge and are seated on the main level of the Stoneyard Bar and Grill right at the lift bridge. We have been looking at the menu all day since I picked up a "to go" menu earlier. I have changed my mind at least a half dozen times. By the time Amy is ready for our order, we have both decided on the chef's recommendation of Seafood Fa Diavio.
Shrimp, scallops and clams with marinara sauce over linguini. mmmmmmmmmmmm
Just for Laura... Lesson of the day: Make him think it's his idea.
