Dave and I picked Mary up at 9:00 a.m. and headed for Toledo. Visited Promenade and Portside area before boarding the Sandpiper, a replica of a canal boat docked near where the canal met the river in the 1840s. We were the only passengers so Dave steered the whole 4-mile trip under bridges with little clearance. Captain Don kept us entertained with stories of what was and is along the banks. Then to Fort Meigs at Maumee- good taped tour made you feel you were there in 1813 during a British Siege. To Napoleon and then home in 2 in of rain.
