Yesterday we traveled from Utica, Ny to Brewerton for about 7 hours. The people at Shady Harbor Marina where we stayed were so nice. The owner had been in contact with me prior to us arriving and gave me his personal cell phone number in case we needed anything. When we arrived the dock guys were very attentive and helped us pump out and got us all securely tied up for the night. The marina also provided a courtesy car so I took one and went to the local laundry mat. Wow that was an eye opener. The place was hot as hell and had no air conditioning. Did I mention that it was 94 degrees yesterday? Bedsides the hot facility the floor was all cracked and several of the tiles on the floor were missing. The place was mostly empty except for a few older men. I thought it would be great to do all the laundry at once and not have to wait but really it was hot and miserable. The dryers were super slow and I had to keep pumping them with more and more quarters. We decided after that experience that doing single loads on the boat will be just fine from now on. After the laundry mat I went back to the marina and picked up Jeff and we ran to Wal-Mart for boat supplies and then to the market for food for the next week. By the time we were done with all of our chores it was after 7pm and we were pooped. I made dinner and we got into bed early. After some boat checks this morning we were on our merry way.
We are hoping to leave Oswego in the morning and to cross Lake Ontario but that will all be up to the weather. There are supposed to be thunderstorms coming through tomorrow morning into the evening but if we can find a window we will head out and make our way across to Kingston, Ontario.
Let's hope this Kingston is better than the last....
