Colonial Belle Returning to Fairport


So, this was a chilly Thursday night late last summer (2015). How do I know? Easy, cuz every Thursday night me and a bunch of other like-minded folks gather online to watch MST3K.

Anyway, the first bell you hear is the Fairport Lift Bridge lowering after the Colonial Belle has cleared. The second bell you hear is me saying "Welcome Home!" to the Captain and Crew. That monstrous groaning noise is not Godzilla getting ready to attack downtown Fairport, but rather it's the Lift Bridge mechanism. The "Charles Rocket" line is me riffing on MST3K.

I'm moored on the south side of the canal, and directly across you can see Capt. JJ's boat, Penguin.
