Thursday, June 22, 2017

We have made a decision to stop our trip for this year, and continue next season. Next week we will continue on the Erie to the Oswego River, and cross Lake Ontario to Wellesley Island in the St Lawrence River, and stay there for the rest of this season, and resume our Great Loop Cruise next year.

Since we are close to Syracuse Airport now, I will be flying back to NC on Saturday to pick up my car (and golf clubs) and bring it up to the Thousand Island Club, return to Brewerton, and resume our trip up to the St Lawrence. That is a two or three day trip depending on the Lake Ontario weather.

EASTNOR is still at Winter Harbor Marina in Brewerton, N.Y. The Marina was close to full and more boats with reservations were expected to arrive today; so they asked us to move to a dock next to the Marina that they use for situations like this. Here we are in our new digs:


 
There are many boats doing the loop, and the weather has rubber banded them into groups spread out over several miles. It makes it difficult for the marinas to handle the boats which seem to come in waves. Winter Harbor is a popular stop especially if boats need work. They have the facility and staff to do just about anything a boat could require. 

After seeing Dave Taylor yesterday, we had another pleasant surprise when Bob and Penny Smith drove up from Binghamton to join us for lunch. After lunch they drove us to the airport so that we could pick up a rental car for Brenda to use while I fly home.



The Nuteak steps were finished, and they look great: (That's a Red Sox World Series Decal at the left of the steps - it looks great also)
