Brewerton, Oswego, and Rochester, New York

John, Joanie, Bob and I stayed 1 night in Brewerton, our last stop on the Erie Canal. Bob had the Caterpillar person come to the boat to do one more thing before we head into Canada.


We wanted to go to lunch so we had to walk about a mile to the restaurant. Joanie and I tried to find some stores to explore but only found 1 drug store on main street. They did have 2 pizza places, so for supper we walked and brought a pizza back to the boat.



Every description of a marina says that restaurants, stores, etc. are only a few steps from where the marina is located. So far, we have not found that to be true. Now Bob doesn't believe anyone when they tell us it is just a few blocks. Maybe it is just us, but a mile or so is not a few steps!!!



John & Joanie are just enjoying the trip while on the Oswego River.



We stayed 2 nights in Oswego because of the weather. It was nice to have a day to rest, clean the boat and Joanie and I got to walk around downtown. The weather wasn't very warm but it was better being in the marina than on Lake Ontario.



Friday, July 4th we had a perfect day to spend on Lake Ontario. The water was as calm as it would ever be. We arrived in Rochester, NY. and Joanie's son Todd, his wife Ann and their 2 sons Jacob and Ryan came to the boat. We had about 3 hours of sitting on the flybridge enjoying the sun and watching all the boats in the harbor.





























Bob and I are in Rochester with John and Joanie until Tuesday. We'll see if they can put up with us that long! Monday night a friend of ours from Woodbury, MN is joining us for the trip through the Trent-Severin Waterway in Canada. We hope, with weather permitting, to start that part of our trip Tuesday.
