Friday, June 23 - Oneida Lake
We have
conversation starter napkins on the boat. Look at the one Danny pulled
out this morning.
Gabe came over and
offered to take us to breakfast. When he first came on board, he said,
“I’m sorry you folks had such a bad time yesterday.” We hadn’t said
anything to him, his son saw the Utica news and called him. I guess now
we will be known as “the people who found the body.”
This marina has has
limited service, but Gabe owns a pump out truck, so we paid him $20.00 to hook
up to our boat and clean us out, so to speak.
Wayne from
Brewerton Boatyard called back and said he could look at the transmission fluid
cooler, so we left Snug Harbor, at the east end of Oneida Lake about 2:00
headed for Brewerton, at the western end of the lake.
We got to see a
title more of Sylvan Beach as we left the marina. There really is a
beach, but the day was too overcast and we were too far away to get a good
picture. The amusement park was small, but it looked like a fun place to
take a family.
Oneida Lake was
such a refreshing change from the straight, narrow, and boring Erie
Canal. The mountains to the south were gorgeous.
It’s really hard to
see, but there is a house at the very end of this island. They have quite
a view!
We pulled into Brewerton
at 6:00 and tied up at Brewerton Boatyard.
The boat in the
slip next to us had passed us in the canal yesterday while we were anchored
working with the body. She immediately came over and talked to us. As
I said earlier, we will be known as the people who found the body.
Wayne, the owner,
came out to help us and looked at the transmission right away. He was
such a nice guy, we liked him immediately. He brought the big vacuum out
to the boat, saying it would be easier to pull the oil while it was warm.
He checked and he did have the part we needed, so we were all set for repairs
tomorrow.
We ordered pizza
from Top This Pizza and watched a movie. Danny was so excited that we can
get television here.
