Phoenix

Phoenix Love it here. Home of the Bridgehouse  Brats, a group of kids who  look after the park and historical museum and they will take you on a guided tour.  They work all summer long and bring you coffee to the dock, or tell you about the town and its amenities. Lots of tables, umbrellas and chairs for boaters to enjoy. As well there is free pump out, free wi fi, shower, 15 amp service and free docking.  Oh and also a laundromat within walking distance. What we believe was a golden eagle in the canal. A walk around Phoenix downtown:  Not sure what kind of flag this was, and either nobody was home, or they looked out the window to see me snapping a photo and Wallace at the door and decided to hide. Dinner on the dock, pulled pork, sausage and salt potatoes, dancing on the back porch (cockpit) to the Fab Cats, Beatles and Beach Boys style, drinking our home made wine. Such a perfect evening.

Oswego

Oswego Arrived, another really peaceful ride on the lake, until the river into the docks. I look out the starboard door and a fishing boat is 10 feet from us, cuts us off and speeds away.  My plants, books and vase...on the floor.  Crap everywhere.  We saw where he went and we are going to hunt him down, jerk. That was our last full day of cruising, now things slow down and we will take the time to explore all the little towns along the way.  Went to town to buy that American flag, bought booze instead. But, look what the boat next door has; we could ply them with rum and abscond with it! Our First Injury Wallace jumped on a metal dock that flew up at him and landed him in a hole. Oh no, those gorgeous legs. A Sea Turtle, no way, turn around and see what that is.  Awe dead duck. Logging in my new official log book, thanks Howard I love it. Your in the army now.

The Lady

Sep 6th Croton Point We'd had enough after last night at anchor in Nyack.   Finally gave up on picking things up as they crashed to the floor, just looked at each other and laughed, 'we'll get that later'.   What a mess, bookcase was emptied onto the bed, no matter we were not sleeping in there as the rolling was at its worst up front.   Charts on the floor, dish drainer, photos; but that one lone empty plastic glass didn't even budge.   Wallace kept taking me to shore to ease my stomach and head, I did not do well in the motion.   Winds up to 40 knots, it was uncomfortable to say the least so we high tailed it to hide behind Tellers Point at Croton Point to avoid some of that north wind. Ah, much nicer here, should have escaped earlier.   Got a swim in and cleaned the bottom of the boat and enjoyed a great pot roast dinner. Our view - Sing Sing. There is a Marina here (Westerly Marina) with fuel and a well equipped marine store. They do engine re
