I mentioned in an earlier post that I go to my friend Chuck’s place once a month to listen to music, eat food and wave maniacally at the passersby. During our July event, Chuck mentioned that the Floating Patio docked on the canal across from his house has never left port.

The Floating Magical Patio of Dreams takes to the water like a duck to … er … water
That’s right, yours truly, Mr. RocBike took photos of the elusive beast as it cruised the waters of the Erie Canal in search of prey or canapes or whatever it is a Floating Patio searches for.
Gotta admit, it looks fun, doesn’t it?
I’ve also noticed these signs up all along the Canalway Trail:
