End of the Erie Canal

Today, we finished the Erie Canal and headed north into the Oswego Canal.  After going through 6 locks, we are tied up on the wall south of Lock #8, after which we will be in Lake Ontario.  We walked around the city of Oswego and admired the scenery of this old town.  There are 2 other boats with Loopers aboard that we traveled with today and they are going on with us to Canada.  We have been really comfortable with our journey so far, but now, we are nervous about the unfamiliar, large bodies of open water in another country, not to mention the language barrier of our (US) Yankee neighbors!  The other Loopers feel the same way.  So, in the morning, we are heading out as a group to the great unknown of Canada! I know we will all feel relieved after clearing Canadian customs, too.  We have heard some real horror stories about Canadian customs.
