Day One - LakeShore Y&CC to Verona

As promised, here is today's update.....

We left Lakeshore Y&CC at exactly 12 Noon. Oneida Lake was like a piece of glass with just a few ripples, mostly caused by the 10 or so other boats that we saw in our run.

The 22 mile hike to the east end of the lake went without issues and the day became a textbook example of how cruising should be done.

The weather was sunny and warm, with temps in the high 80's. We ran the whole lake at 1800RPM which gave us an average of 9 Knots Per Hour and we burned about 6 gallons of fuel.

We arrived at Mariner's Landing at 2:15PM, entering the harbor of Sylvan Beach at 2:00PM.

By the time we registered at the office, tied securely to the dock and ran our electric and water connection it was 2:45PM. We then left for the LakeView Country Restaurant in Sylvan Beach for lunch..

Diesel at $3.859......we will take on 200 gallons on Thurday before we leave here.

We paid ($1.25 per foot per day) for dockage until Thursday, the 2nd of August.

Mariners Landing Marina is an  "Enterprise of the Oneida Indian Nation".
