Thursday June 3: Minetto, NY

Finally after a week living in the motel and another 6 days on the boat docked at Pirate's Cove, we are on the move with a look back at the marina and the Toyota! The marina owner bought it for his daughter to drive - I'm sure it will provide another 20 years of service!
Probably we are more prepared that ever - or at least we like to believe that. Steve has tracked the oil leak down to the valve cover gasket (which is a good thing) and since we have not 1 but 2 spare gaskets, I see the morning beginning with a change in gaskets. Estimated time to swap: 45 minutes but in reality will be more I'm sure.
We are spending the night in Minetto, NY having traveled a mere 20.7 miles north on the Oswago River so we are within 8 miles of Lake Ontario. Tomorrow night will be spent at the top of the last lock before the lake - and hopefully it won't be a wait of more than a day or two for a good weather crossing of 85 miles to the entrance to the Trent-Severen.
I loved the sign at the turn-off to the Oswego River! It was important to take the correct turn here for sure :-)
