Sylvan Beach

We stayed at Sylvan Beach wall with several other Loopers.  We started from a closer place, so we arrive earlier than the others. We took a quick stroll along the wall, beach and into town. Sylvan lake is a large lake and with the right winds it can throw up some big waves.

The first part of the shore was lined with rocks to protect it from the waves.

Along the right side of the picture above, they have nicely manicured Bocce Ball courts.  We didn’t dig ours out as it was about to rain. Down further we came to an old time amusement park.  It hadn’t opened yet.  It was slated to open the next day, but upon closer inspection, I am not sure I would trust these old rides.  However, they sure do ad something to the little town.

 

Then we came to the beach. It looks like they just groomed the sand ready for summer.

We had about 12 Loopers that went to dinner at the Crazy Clam, which was just down the dock from where we all moored.  Food was good the company even better.  Boaters are fun people.

After dinner we strolled down by the water and there was a 2 man band playing in the park.  They weren’t half bad.  We felt bad that the crowd was so tiny. They were better than that.

We hoped for a spectacular sunset with all the clouds, but instead it was rather erie.

Erie but pretty all in one moment.

We are getting very close to the end of our trip on the Erie Canal.  Lots of neat little towns.
