The two other boats at Aqua Vino with us left before us this morning. We waited until 8:00 to leave the dock. It was 57 degrees and cloudy. We locked through Lock # 20, #21, and #22. When we were in Lock #20, a barge and tugboat was coming toward the lock on the side we were to exit. The tugboat captain called the lockmaster and asked him to keep us in the chamber until he got his barge docked. It took about an extra 20 minutes. Lock #21 was the first lock going down.
It drizzled off and on again today. Every time we'd get the canvas down, it would quit raining. We crossed Oneida Lake. It's 20 miles long, Most of the way was very calm until we almost reached the far end. We arrived at Ess-Kay Yard at 2:45 and by 3:30, we were in the courtesy car and going to the grocery store. The grocery store is named Wegman's. It is a really nice store. We bought some shish-ka-bobs for dinner and they were tasty.
There are several loopers here in the marina. "Sirius" whom we have met up with a couple of times is here. We had Happy Hour with 2 couples Casey and John, and Al and Dottie. Everyone has been extremely kind to us. I think we are going to stay here tomorrow night as well.
Aren't these baby tugboats cute?

We just can't get over how close to the water the houses are.
