On to Little Sodus

The trip to Little Sodus is only about 2 hours from Sodus Bay. We hurried ahead of Pipe Dream to get our Out Board fixed. When we arrived at the very nice and friendly  Fair Point Marina we discovered contrary to the ports guide they did not fix any engines.

Once the ladies arrived we walked 100 yards to Lake Ontario and went for a swim. Bella and Lexie really enjoyed themselves.




Unlike it's big cousin down the lake Little Sodus was only too happy to help me get the motor fixed. A gentleman who had a trailer at the Marina drove me to see a man he thought could fix it. The man we met said if I could get the motor to him he would fix it and return it before 12:00 tomorrow. I  did, he did and I had a motor that worked.

It turned out that both the carburetor and the water intake were clogged. It also turned out that the people in Sodus were correct. This would have been far too complicated a job for them.
