Brewerton NY in the Ess-Kay Marina May 24th, 2015

Dutchess Sailing - May 24th, 2015 - 

Hello to all crew and friends,

Crew is Captain John, first mate Paul Berne, deck hand Dick Fritz, Galley person Nancy Fritz. We are presently in Brewerton NY in the Ess-Kay Marina. This is the west end of Oneida Lake. They charged us 1.00 per foot for the night so 44.00 but charged 8.00 for pumping out each holding tank so 16.00.

Fuel here cost 3.05 per gallon but we have used only 35 gallons since leaving PYC. We stopped in Amsterdam paid 1.00/ft, Canajoharie free dock, Utica paid 40.00 , Sylvan Beach free dock and now Brewerton. The free docks usually have no facilities so we stop in marinas for showers and food shopping. Paul and I used the loaner car in Ess-Kay marina and restocked the boat today. Nancy cooked a splendid spaghetti dinner tonight. The last lock was number 22 only 12 to go. Lock 23 is the last lock where we go down and then they all go up to Lake Erie. Next stop is Baldwinsville where we part company with Nancy and Dick. Then Paul and I will have to manage by ourselves, oh well!!!
