Beautiful sunny day today. About 3 miles after we left the lock, left the Mohawk River and that section of the Erie Canal and entered Lake Oneida, a shallow lake that has a reputation of getting rough in any winds. We were very lucky, winds were light and the lake was very smooth. We assume there must be a lot of fish in the lake, there were many, many fishing boats out. As we were crossing the lake, Jumbo went whizzing past us with a big wave from Fred. Not sure how far they were going today.
Short trip then from the lake to the marina at Brewerton. Found Simple Interest here; they had left the lock before us this morning. Gull Wing is also here; Bill and Phyll are from Bradenton and came this far on their loop last year, they have just come back to the boat to resume their journey. We had met them in Bradenton last winter. Late this afternoon, our friends Pat and Dick on Gypsea arrived, we had not seen them for a couple of days. We plan to leave in the morning; if all goes well we will be in Oswego by tomorrow night, then potentially cross Lake Ontario to Kingston on Monday (depends on weather). Our loop is nearly over.
