Camelot Launches

Camelot makes it's slow way to the water

Jean and Paul Miller's Holiday Mansion Camelot launched this Friday. You may have noticed Jean and Paul's boat moored in Fairport, they're regulars and in fact they were the first folks I got to know when I started boating on the Canal.

Their houseboat is one of the larger craft along the quay and they can usually be found sitting up on the rear deck. They're the boat with Canalligator sitting proudly on their swim platform, don'tcha know. It works as a pretty good scarecrow, and keeps the ducks from making a mess on the deck.

The original Canalligator was quite the attraction, especially for the younger kids walking along the quay with their parents after having gotten lucky with an Ice Cream cone. Alas, the first Canalligator disappeared one night, and we kinda suspect foul play. Or maybe the ducks ganged up and it was Fowl Play! Anyway, they've since replaced the old Canalligator with a new model, but we still miss the original.

Welcome back Jean and Paul!
