I think they have docked for the night on the north end of the canal.
They could have made Oswego in the morning if they'd run all night
down Lake O, not terribly difficult. The Oswego Canal does not run
at night so they'll most likely be spending the night there tomorrow.


Looks like you're right. They started moving about 5:20 EDT.

Since this group seems to be following their every move, you can view
videos of this section of their trip on my web site. I just completed this
and have extensive videos and photos. You can find the videos at

Nice videos Geoff, looks like you've been busy. What were your
favorite parts of that trip?

Roger, are you staying overnight in Oswego? Clearing Customs etc? Spot
made it look as if running the lake was a piece of cake. Can you fill
us in, please?

I'm actually inthe process of writing my my end-of-voyage report. I'll
post it here or a pointer to it. To put it mildly, it was a long, cold and
wet voyage that I'm glad that I did, but I wouldn't do it again.

Welcome to the Great Lakes. Now you know. Aren't you glad you weren't
on Superior?
