Wow! It was cool this morning.  There was a lot of mist off the water.  My people are thinking of heading to Sylvan Beach (on the shore of Lake Oneida) today.

It was a gorgeous day!  We did 5 locks  -- there was a long way between a few of them. 

We got into Sylvan Beach @ 5:00 PM and tied up on the free dock.  There is no power or water, but they should be ok – it is a nice night with a breeze.

I met another boat yesterday at Little Falls – “Crawdad”     (Jim & Gloria Crawford) from Michigan.  We traveled with them & “Old Grouch” today.  All the people went out to dinner @ a funny place called The Crazy Clam.  They seemed to have had a good time when they got back.

I enjoyed the other boats!

Today we crossed Lake Oneida!  “Crawdad” and “Old Grouch” went with us.  It was a beautiful, calm morning.  A bit cool, but warming up as the day went on. We were only going as far as Ess-Kay Marina in Brewerton today, so it was a short day.

I had a Spa treatment today!  We did a short haul and got rid of all the barnacles, and then put new zincs on my shaft.  I also got fuel and a pump-out, so I’m all ready to go!

Kate says it was a very expensive day with my treatments and a grocery trip!  But I feel good!
