Last week we left Kingston as planned on Tuesday and made the crossing of Lake Ontario to the US. We left Kingston around 9:30am after picking up our groceries from the marina's freezer and getting Al settled onto the boat. The crossing to Cape Vincent was fairly uneventful with waves of about 3 feet in height to bounce us around a bit. We arrived at Cape Vincent just after lunch. Check-in to the US was much easier than expected: a short walk over to the ferry dock, wait while the customs officials unloaded a few cars from an arriving ferry, then a brief conversation and check of the passports and we were good to go. Since it was still early in the day we decided to head on to Henderson Harbor where we have a reciprocal agreement with BYC to use their yacht club. This sounded great as it looked
like they had a great set-up .... except they had closed down for the season! However, they still had the harbour wall - with power - for us to spend a nice night at.Day two on Lake Ontario was the crossing from Henderson Harbor over to Oswego - a long day of motoring out on open Lake Ontario. We went through the first two locks on the Oswego before spending the night at Fulton - a little Northern New York town. The Oswego locks are quite different than the Rideau ones in that they are automated and bigger (longer and a bit wider).
