Don't take the wrong turn on the Erie Canal - Great loop #11 - Sailing Life on Jupiter EP90

[@joecucch8261]

The reef fishing head boats had the anchor retrieval rope on their anchor lines. We used to put it on rebar grapple hooks. Saved our twenty dollar anchors more than once. Looks like a refreshing boat ride at the falls.

[@SailingLifeonJupiter]

With all those trees down there, I reckon you'd lose your grapple too!.. Cheers Joe

Hello from Siesta Key Florida I grow up on lake Erie northeast Ohio The falls were about a hour and a half drive for us and visited often. That's when you just showed a driver's license to cross the border. Be in Florida 40 years this August

[@SailingLifeonJupiter]

Your backyard! Cheers William

About 4 years ago, a famous rope walker, walked a tight rope across the Falls from the "AMERICAN side to the CANADIAN side.

[@SailingLifeonJupiter]

Thatd be cool to see.

Thanks for showing off our Erie Canal - a surprise on a sailing channel. I live in one of the little towns on the "long level" section between Rochester & Lockport. We have always thought the canal was beautiful. When we were kids, they used to let us ride the lift bridges up & down when a boat came through.

[@SailingLifeonJupiter]

Ah lovely.. Cheers

[@donaldslider8650]

I love your videos. I follow each one and I try to watch the back one's. I'm going on my journey starting in Sept. I feel that this is a assignment from God to remit the sins of the land and reclaim this great country of our for the kingdom

My Uncle (godfather) lived in Niagara Falls, Ontario most of his life. We used to visit about once a year until I was 20. The Horseshoe falls are MASSIVE and getting bigger every year due to erosion. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. Did you happen to notice on the Canadian side the hotel with the exterior elevators painted like lady bugs?

[@SailingLifeonJupiter]

I think we may have seen them Marcel... Tho I can't see where in our footage... Cheers

[@10lauset]

My home town of St. Catharines is only about fifteen miles from Niagara Falls on the Canadian side. Lots of memories going over the river to go drinking. Thanks .. Cheers to you ..

Hello from the rowers that appear just after the 11 minute mark! Rochester Boat Club in Fairport NY. We can identify most of the people in the boat by sight, but if you have an exact date, we can look up for sure.

[@SailingLifeonJupiter]

Ahhh…haha, hello again!

[@mitsstim2664]

Excellent!

[@SailingLifeonJupiter]

Was a cool place

[@clivestainlesssteelwomble7665]

A lot of those earlier canal stages looked like areas of the European canal network....even some of the boats. One of those bridges dropping on you bridge would definately ruin your day..⛵😂 The speeds restricted because the prop wash and wake would destroy the canals banks and bed... They were lined with clay to seal them in some places .. in the UK and France. But they were initially 1hp.... horse drawn..till steam engines took over.

[@SailingLifeonJupiter]

Tks Clive... I don't think Jupiter broke any speed limits!

Niagara Falls are fascinating - Niagara FLOW is only 20 to 25% of what it used to be before diversion - imagine the power it used to have!

[@SailingLifeonJupiter]

Wow.. Can't imagine!

[@dthoma128]

Fairport! I raised my family near there (Webster is next town north, right on Lake Ontario ... about a 20 min drive). Now I'm retired and live on the other side of the Great Loop, on the Inter-coastal Waterway ICW in North Carolina. Will you be coming all the way around?

[@SailingLifeonJupiter]

We went passed NC before New York... Not icw tho, ocean side... Our mast is too tall. Stopped in at Beaufort. Lovely town. Cheers

[@robertlaird6746]

I've heard that they shut the water off at night because just upstream of the falls there is a water power plant and they take most of the water away from the falls. If the plant wasn't there than the falls would be like 20 times or even more than that powerful. I've also heard if they let all the water go over the falls that it would erode the falls back to the great lakes and drain the lakes. I've never been there but would like to experience it in person some day.

[@SailingLifeonJupiter]

You're probably right Robert.. Was pretty specy

[@scottwheeler2494]

They throttle it back at night. They could shut it off but it’s all ran by international agreement nowadays as they want to maximize electrical generation and tourist view and minimize erosion. It eventually will erode back but that’s many centuries from now.

If I knew what I was talking about I'd say that you need a promoter , like a big Hollywood movie promoter ....I did hit the like button though!

You don't happen to know any do ya? Well thanks Adam, we can't ask for more! Hehe.

[@gritzmann1]

A small editing mistake. You showed Brockport before Spencerport......it's Spencerport then Brockport when going west. Great video...

[@dwel2928]

I noticed that too since I was brought up in Brockport and now live just one town west.

[@SailingLifeonJupiter]

No fair! You have inside knowledge... Hehe...cheers

[@NorthernExposureATV]

Do you attach the anchor recovery line every time? Or is it a permanent attachment and if so how do you store it on deck? I feel like it would create a mess and a hassle to anchor each time. I've heard of ppl zip tying the recovery line to the chain itself to reduce that hassle. Yanking on it would free it so it can be used. Thoughts?

[@SailingLifeonJupiter]

No we don't use it all the time...but usually where ever there's likely to be snags... Cable ties wouldn't work, coz the chain has twists.. A single wrap around the chain and your trip line is no longer pulling the head of the anchor, but pulling on the chain itself. Cheers

[@brucesinclair2981]

That's great assuming no one steals Bob. As they did in my case. I now loose every 20 metres tie to the chain. I use a float rope. If needed its realised very easily unties when pulled

[@SailingLifeonJupiter]

There's no perfect solution hey Bruce...cheers

[@brucesinclair2981]

@@SailingLifeonJupiter their is no perfect solution.. To me the rocna anchor has one major problem. It's that as the boat drags the anchor digs deeper and deeper into the sea bed.trying to hold the boat I've had the bar 300 below in mud. I've had to wait to low tied and dig it out. A retrieval line will not help So there is no perfect solution to the problems that can occur with anchorring. There is a breaking link that work or you can use a thin bolt . The chain is attached at the rear of the anchor where you attached the rope. It's then bolted or use the link to connect at its proper fixing point. Under normal working loads the link holds. But when it breaks the anchor is pulled out As I've said their is no perfect solution to anchoring only problem that need to be solved.
