Tuesday, June 27, 2017

I returned to Brewerton last night from retrieving my car in NC. I flew down on Saturday , and Tony Mantini was kind enough to pick me up at the airport. After tending to some personal issues, I left early on Monday to make the 14 hour drive back.

Today, we brought my car up to Wellesley Island and drove the rental car back. We are now waiting for a weather opportunity to continue our trip on the Erie and Oswego River and across Lake Ontario. It looks like Saturday or Sunday will be the best weather window to cross the Lake. So we will leave on Friday to get up to Oswego and plan to cross on Saturday or Sunday.

The water level on Lake Ontario and the St Lawrence River is very high, and the Marinas in Oswego have limited dockage, so we need to time our trip to spend one night on the wall in Oswego and cross the Lake the next day.

When we arrived on Wellesley Island today to bring my car up, we were surprised at the high water level. Most of the docks at the Thousand Island Club are OK, but here are a few pictures of the lowest fixed dock and the water covering it.








 
We were able to take a ride through Cicero where we used to live. Here are a couple of pictures of the house we had built in Cicero:
