Adventures (and Misadventures) of Elliott and Mary

Issue 34 - Summer 2009:  Back up to Canada

We left Brewerton and headed North down the Oswego River to Lake Ontario.

Had a great stop in Phoenix, home of the RiverBrats and then across the lake to Sackets Harbor for an interesting stop.
 
Went down Henderson Bay to a cove and anchored. Just about dusk the wind shifted and we had a little blow as the front went through. After it was all done I decided that I didn't like where the wind had left us and cranked up the engines to move. We were reminded once again why a weedy bottom is to be avoided if possible. Mary had to cut through a ball of green stuff about twice the size of a basket ball to get us away.

Then off to a night at the New York Fisheries dock in Cape Vincent before a short 10 mile trip up to Clayton, NY and a stop at the Islander Marina.

We rented a car and drove into Canada to Kingston to pick up Chris Noyaert, out good friend and visitor for the start of the Rideau jount.

Then a 20 mile cruise on the St. Lawrance to Kingston where we will 'prepare' ourselves for the trip up to Ottawa
