Finally The Oswego Canal

It is Tuesday June 7th and they have opened the Canal. As we sit at Brewerton Boatyard boats are heading down to lock 23. I decided yesterday after I heard there were already 4 boats waiting at the lock to take it easy this morning. We will let the early adopters crowd into the first opening and we will slip in half an hour after them all alone.

We will have to see how this strategy works. I have seen a 50 and 40 foot motor yacht pass along with a 36 foot sailboat. This means at least 7 boats. I think one more power boat from this marina is going to try to get into the first lock.

As you can see it is not as nice as it has been. There is a good chance it will rain today. I donot know how much rain will close the locks tomorrow, and do not wish to stay around to find out. We are going to be at The Sodus Bay Yacht Club tonight. Tomorrow Katlynn  Harbor Marine will put our mast up tomorrow. Thursday we will be at The Rochester Yacht Club, then Youngstown and home. We will arrive home on Sunday June 12, 2015 less then 11 months from our departure on August 24, 2015.
