Weather on Lake Oneida is always a consideration so at 0700 (7:00a.m.) we pulled away from the dock at Mariner's Landing in Sylvan Beach and departed for Brewerton, West across Lake Oneida. A cool 66, light fog (visiability 2-3 miles) and a light West wind, seas one foot on the lake.
We crossed the lake and went under the I-81 bridge at Brewerton before 1000 having experienced no difficulty in the crossing. We learned later in the evening from HARMONY, crossed during the afternoon of the 6th, that the wind picked up, waves were 4-5 feet, and they had a very rough ride.
Johnny and Anne departed SONATA on their way to Niagara Falls by car and then home. We went shopping at the huge Carousel Mall in North Syracuse. More shopping adventures planned for the 7th.

Hey guys! Sorry I have been slack on blogging. Happy 4th, (a little late), and I am so glad that you are living a dream. Continuous smooth sailing, miss you both, hope to see you soon.
ReplyDeleteby the way, the picture of the three masted schooner is worth framing. good work mr. burke.
ReplyDeleteThanks for keeping such great bog site. I've been remiss in commenting but I have been checking it out once or twice weekly. No major changes at the marina. Hope your trip continues safely and trouble-free. Barratt
ReplyDeleteStarted a scrap book with all the pictures and comments. I followed the canal across the state and like you said, not too many places to get fuel. Running at 5-6 knots? Less fuel per mile? Bet you were glad to get to Brewerton with nice weather. Hard to beleive it could get that rough in a lake. Yep, planning phase has started for the Miss Faith.
