Tuesday, September 29, 2009 : Medina to Holley
Woke up in my new tent, it’s considerably smaller than the last, but NO LEAKS!
Enjoyed some coffee at the Shirt Factory Café then showered at the marina. Before departing I was interviewed by The Daily News (Batavia NY). The article can be viewed here.
I departed at 10:00 am with the photographer snapping my picture. In rain and high winds, I rowed to Albion and stopped at the town wall. Took a break and considered spending the night, but decided to push on to Holley.
Arrived at Holley at 5:30pm, the lift bridge operator had left for the day. I was able to drive my boat under the bridge with inches to spare - not unlike what they do daily in Venice. This is where I tied up for the night. There were a number of times during the day where conditions reminded me of “The Deadliest Catch.” It has me wondering if I can continue safely.
