Start of America’s Great Loop

Providence is in Oswego!





 Well, today sure was a bouncy ride across Lake Ontario!

We left after the thunderstorms passed Cape Vincent this morning and headed out. I watched the radar app on my phone to try and time my way out of getting hit broadside by the storm cells marching their way across the lake. We experienced a couple light showers on the way but it was the wind driven waves that tossed us around. I made it through fine, Melissa was a little nauseous, and Sophie, well, she slept through it all. She leads such a dogs life! 





We tried to get a slip at Wrights Landing Marina but there were none available with power. So we opted for the the free wall with no services over the marina. 


They had a nice shower and that’s the only benefit to staying there. We have a shower on the boat and saved $$$ by staying on the free wall above Lock 8. 😊



For the second time in recent memory I left my phone behind…



We were putting our new bikes together and getting ready for a ride to Walmart to get new bike helmets and my phone fell to the ground, unnoticed by yours truly, and we departed, none the wiser. Until we got to Walmart and I wanted to take a photo. Oops, after a frantic search of my backpack we hastily rode our bikes back to the boat. Yup, there it was, lying screen down on the sidewalk right beside the boat. No damage save a dusty corner of the otter box where it landed on the sidewalk. Sometimes I wonder how I’m still alive after all these years… grace, it’s the only answer I can think of. Oh, it’s not my grace, it’s God’s grace that keeps me here, whew!

So, to finish our ride we went to Rudy’s to get some fish for dinner and then rode back to the boat to play Yahtzee. Yes, I’m tired, good night! 😴




Who doesn’t like a good dog picture?!

I won by 20 points, it the first time I’ve ever beat her at Yahtzee!
