Wednesday June 22: Pirate's Cove, Clay NY

We left our rickety dock in Rome Monday morning and made our way 20 miles to Sylvan Beach. This is the place that has the amusement park that looks like it's from when we were kids. It was closed since it was a Monday but we enjoyed it nonetheless. Bonus that we arrived in time for lunch out - Steve just had to take a picture of his eggplant parmesan sandwich (which I had to admit was pretty good).
Yesterday we headed across the largest lake on the NY canal system: Lake Oneida, 20 miles long. Pleasant enough day with our arrival here at Pirate's Cove early in the day. This will be where we stay for a while. It'll be nice to be able to get some work done that we have put off - including hauling the boat and checking to see how the bottom paint is doing. I'm sure we left some of it on the intercoastal in NJ on the way up :-) We helped Joysea get underway this morning as they are continuing on their way to the Trent-Severn and the remainder of the Loop. There are lots of Loopers around in the area so I'm sure they will connect with others in their travels. We'll see them in January back in Banana Bay marina in Marathon which is where they will complete their Loop. It was nice traveling with them again.
Project for the day (mostly Steve's project) was to work on hooking all of the outlets up to the inverter so we didn't have to run extension cords around the cabin. Partially successful but work remains to be done. I never did understand electric circuits much so this job definitely has Steve's name on it.
No traveling going on for a while so I'll update the blog occasionally with pics of what we are doing to the boat.
