"Harriet" is On the Move

Spring has sprung and its time to get some boats in the water.  If you have read my (rather intermittent) blog, you know that our BIG THING this winter has been breathing new life into the canal boat formerly known in the Mid-Lakes fleet as "Keuka", and more recently called "Nicole Claudine" as part of the Erie Champlain Canal Boat Company, in Waterford. "Harriet" is now on the way to her new port!

Here is a sneak peak.  Of course more pictures will come now that she is out of the artificial light of the Boat Barn.

Boat Builder, Patrick McCarthy and Electrician, Duane Morton are either putting on the finishing touches or admiring each other's amazing work, I'm not sure.  These two and several others did an amazing job transforming this boat into the Erie Canal's newest luxury barge. (pic 1)

Peter Tigh adding some finishing touches to the window hardware. Pete, a retired educator, spent countless hours this winter sanding, scraping, cleaning, painting and pretty much making "Harriet" beautiful. (pic 2)

          

The first looks at the interior of the "Harriet".  We will get more pictures when she gets home to Macedon.



      

New hard top canopy on the back deck. When she gets to Macedon, the back deck will get vinyl canvas, so she'll be completely enclosed in case of rain.

Ready to pull out of the Boat Barn.

And…She's Off!!

              

  

In the care of Lockview Marine Haulers, the "Harriet" just passed by our Skaneateles office, en route to her new home port in Macedon, NY.
