There are several opportunities to travel by boat on the Erie Canal that range from a 1-hour boat tour to renting a luxurious houseboat complete with four bedrooms, two bathrooms, living room and full kitchen. That's the one we got to use offered by Bob Stivers at Stivers Seneca Marina, located on the Cayuga-Seneca Canal.
The boat first made its way onto Seneca Lake before turning around to visit the canal. This particular part of the canal is surrounded by homes and a few business enterprises. It's not odd to see blue herons wait for the boat and then soar in front of it, stop, catch up and repeat. The blue herons have their territory so another one will take its place along the way.
The day brought misty rain and hard winds, which made it a bit difficult for me to take over the wheel.
We went into a lock but Bob decided not to continue through, backed up and did a u-turn.
