Today, Friday, Oct 2nd, we head out into the lake at 6:30 in the morning. It's quite chilly but the lake is flat and there is no rain. We are through Lock 8 at 10:30 and we press on to finish all of the Oswego locks before noon. We are making great progress. There is quite a bit of boat traffic on the canal and we lock thru several times with a variety of power and sailboats. Rain comes in during the afternoon so we lock thru 23 on the Erie Canal just before Oneida Lake and stay for the night at Brewerton. I made brownies for dessert tonight and the oven heated up the cabin quite nicely.
Steve is getting a taste of what it's like to cruise. He has been a great help on the helm and his muscles are coming in handy in the locks. Three on board is so much better than two! Thanks Steve!
