Oswego to Sackets Harbor

We left the dock at 9AM on Sunday and headed for Sackets Harbor, NY. This trip was about 45 miles or about a 5 hour run. Doug stopped at the Oswego Marina first to top off his fuel tanks, and out into the lake we headed.

Weather was warm, and winds were about 10 knots from the south west. The lake was rolling quite a bit, and it was a bumpy ride almost all the way. We arrived at Navy Point Marine at about 2:05 PM, and luckily we did....a lightening and thunderstorm hit there at 2:10.....and let me tell you, that first bolt of lightening struck about 500 yards off our dock. Within 15 minutes it was over and the sun came back out, and it was humid....but at least it was not raining.

Our friends, Todd and Jason Walker were heading in to meet us, but they caught the storm and arrived at the marina a few hours after us. They made the trip from Sodus Bay to Sackets all in the same day. Thank God they arrived safely.

Our plans are to stay here for two nights and then on Tuesday head out to Alexandria Bay.

Sunday we had dinner onboard. We all barbqued some sausage, made a salad and some salt potatoes.
After dinner, Doug and the two Walkers headed into town to visit a few bars....but things wrap up early on a Sunday night in Sackets, and they were back to the boat by 10:30 PM.

Monday was a day to relax around the marina. Around 1Pm the Walkers left and headed back to Sodus Bay, and at dinner time we walked into town. We stopped at a place called the Boathouse for a cocktail and then on to Tin Pan Galley for dinner. This is a high end restaurant where you eat outside in gardens. It was great and, as ususal, the food was superb.
We walked back to the boats around 9PM and sat around having a few nightcaps....by 10 we were headed to bed.
