Saturday, June 23, Day 50: Under partly cloudy skies, and with a fairly strong westerly wind, we departed Sylvan Beach and headed across the 20 mile wide Oneida Lake toward our next destination, Brewerton. Brewerton is a popular town for loopers because it has a number of marine facilities for making last-minute boat repairs and reprovisioning before exiting the US and entering Canada at the north side of Lake Ontario. At Brewerton, we parked Rickshaw at Winter Harbor marina, which is so named because it has a huge heated warehouse for storing boats over the winter. Since we had not bought fuel since the Chesapeake, we topped off our 3 diesel tanks with 500 gallons of fuel, and filled up our water tanks.
Lake Oneida is a very pretty recreational lake with lots of fishing boats and a few water skiers. It took a little over 3 hours to cross.
One of the homes along the bank of the Erie Canal. There were lots of rental cottages with docks also.
This was our view off the back deck along the Winter Harbor dock. The second boat back, with the blue top, is Wild Goose - DeFever owners Jim & Ann O'Malley. We had met them in Florida at a DeFever Rendevzous.
