July 23, 2011 - Oswego, NY to Clayton, NY

Leave Oswego around 9:00 am and by the lock wall there is barely a breath of air. Into the harbor and out onto Lake Ontario, the winds are a brisk 15+ out of the west with white caps. Fortunately the course is a beam reach (the course that would have killed the trawler!) so it wasn't too bad. Passed on Sacketts Harbor and decided to head to Clayton, NY on the St Lawrence River. Once we get to the river it is a nice trip up the river.

Windmills on Wolfe Island, Ontario - 87, second largest in Canada

Got Chairs, need elevator

Clayton, NY

French Bay Marina has a slip which tests the bow and stern thrusters to get into but is well protected for the night with power. Clayton is a very nice small town built around the Wooden Boat Museum which is something to go out of your way to see.

Tomorrow into the Thousand Islands for overnight and then to the "Big City", Kingston, Ontario, Canada.

Incredible sunset over the St Lawrence River
