After we left, Little Falls, we ended up in Rome,New York . Rome is a cool little town on the Erie canal. We tied up to a wall at Belemy park that had power, but no water for two nights. It was a free stay! There was a party going on in the park for Juneteenth. Too bad it rained Friday Saturday and Sunday. There was a Great Band on Friday night when we arrived. Unfortunately, they cut it short because it was pouring out.
The next morning, I took my scooter to Davidson in Marina which was about 6 miles away to get a new trim tab motor and pump. It was a little scary going through the city on my scooter. However, it solve the problem and the trim tabs are working like new.
The next night we headed out to Winter Harbor Marina. This is on the west side of Lake Oneida. Lake Oneida is a beautiful lake. I got a chance to clean the cobwebs out of the diesel engines and got up to 29 mph. This was a good thing for the engines . Winter Harbor Marina was not really near anything, but it was a Great Little stop. The dock we stayed on was right along the canal. They had a gazebo with grills and a beautiful lawn. They were a whole bunch of other Loopers and it was just a great time. Mavis escaped off the boat a few times which required a search and rescue team!! Also miss curious got in a cabinet that I mistakenly locked her in by mistake She was in there for a couple hours.We went out on a search and rescue mission for her with no avail. We thought she was gone. That was until Chicklette heard a slight meow. She was pin sideways in a cabinet and couldn’t even meet move. Lucky mistakenly locked in the cabinet. She was a little upset, but was unharmed. Lol
We had a couple of nice walks and ate on the boat most of the time!
i’m still in need of parts for the alternator and AIS system so we need to go to Oswego for those. They are being delivered to the marina we will be staying in. We’re going to stop halfway to Oswego at Phoenix and tie up on the wall. Stay tuned.
