Great lake crossing, with some motoring but also sailing for the last 2 hours. It was really hot weather and after our arrival in the US, at the Oswego Marina, we sure enjoyed a couple of Genny’s...we were on American soil once more. We were to unmast next day at 8h30 so the rest of the afternoon was spent preparing for the task.

One of the very first thing we did in the morning is removing all instruments from the mast top...we now of experience that these can be destroyed in just a very brief encounter with the lock walls! Heiner had a very decent view from up there! 
That’s how she looked like our Buena Vida...packed to the rim! Full of stuff...But somehow one gets used to the mast, the canisters, the sails and on we go...departing Oswego for a long Canal voyage.
We did not want to rush and bought a 10 days vacation pass at $37.50. We have done this trip quite often and we like the flexibility to stop wherever and whenever we feel like it. The Fulton’s Price Choppers was going to be the only store we would find at walking distance from the water. Yes, we are in America and the malls are far away..if you don’t have bikes or cars.
