A Magical Summer

Chautauqua Belle and Nyitra Steaming side by side

[Disclaimer: Nyitra and I are not associated with the Chautauqua Belle]

Such a Beautiful summer and Debut of my steamboat Nyitra! The Belle and her crew have been very nice and we have met up on the water a few times.

Steamed Nyitra from Point Chautauqua to Mayville and back for lunch on Saturday Aug 26 2017. We followed the Belle out of Mayville for a short bit. We couldn't keep up with her for very long. Passed along by most of the Point on the way home. Added the WhistleShop custom whistle. The other whistle is a Longerhan. Both are 3-note chimes.
