Heading out of Sackets Harbor, we had a long day trek from the St. Lawrence Seaway to Sodus Bay out on Lake Ontario. Although the wind and waves were supposed to be not too bad, we found that motoring at our normal pace of 8-10 mph was challenging and the rolling wave action was aContinue reading “Sodus Marina, Sodus Point, NY July 19-21”

Driving the car again today up to Alexandria Bay — we actually were on the northern most part of Interstate 81 (which coincidentally we lived close to the southern end of this interstate in Tennessee).

Taking advantage of the rental car in Sackets Harbor, we took a side trip to visit the Antique Boat Museum in Clayton, NY and to take a boat tour on the St. Lawrence River to Bolt Castle in the Thousand Islands.

We rented a car in Watertown for a few days so we could tour around the area and not move the boat. One day we thought we would try out a few area winery’s. Winery touring is a fun thing to do around Sackets Harbor. Our first winery stop was the Yellow Barn winery —Continue reading “Sackets Harbor Side Trip – Winery’s July 14th”

After arriving at Navy Point Marina, we took a walk around and found they have a very nice grilling area, which we took advantage of a few times. The viewContinue reading “Navy Point Marina at Sackets Harbor, NY July 12-18th”

After docking the boat securely, we took a walk to go to Saturday night mass at Christ the Good Shepard Catholic Church. It was a nice service that didn’t require masks right here in New York!

We stayed at Pirates Cove for one week through the July 4th Holiday. This was a great location, with a restaurant and pool that was in the cornfields of Clay New York. We went for a run and a couple of nice long walks around the countryside area. There was some wildlife here from FishContinue reading “Pirates Cove Marina, Clay, NY July 3-9”

Sylvan beach was a stop on the free wall, without power. Luckily it was a cool day, so no need for air-conditioning. We took a short walk around so Larry could get another ‘shot glass’ souvenir for his collection then we settled in for a restful night.

We stopped off at a restaurant – Aqua Vino – in Utica, NY — the boat was parked off the Mohawk river on the high wall at the restaurant — for only $47/night!! We had lunch which was Hot Ringlets (Famous in Utica) and a great salad. Our waitress, Lindsey, worked for her uncle (theContinue reading “Aqua Vino Restaurant, Utica NY July 1st”

After a long day of boating through the Locks, we finally arrived at Little Falls Canal Harbor in Little Falls, New York. This town has several historic buildings and churches from the early 1800’s.
