What a difference a day makes - Lock #19 43◦04'.485 N 075◦06'.888 W

It was a very uneventful day. The water was flat today, like a mirror really.

It is quite a difference from yesterday when we were seeing white caps on this narrow river.
We ended up having dinner at Dan's back yard BBQ with 12 other boaters last night and two of them, named Hal and Don followed us all day today . We arrived at lock 19 at around 5pm and we had Hal and Don join us for dinner. We had a lovely day, and tomorrow we get to do it all over again... lock after lock after lock. Although tomorrow we do get to cross a lake so that will change the scenery a bit.
In any event, today was rivers and locks so you are not missing much in terms of pictures.







A few flood gates to see along the way as well. They are a really interesting feat of engineering.

We passed a marina today named S-John's and just as we drove by, we got a call on the radio telling us their fuel was on sale for 2.90/gal. We chose not to stop since we waned to top up in Brewerton at an AGLCA sponsored Marina called Winter harbor. They have been very good to us in the past and certainly good to loopers in general, so we opted to give them our business. Hopefully we make it there tomorrow, weather permitting. If it gets windy again tomorrow we may not cross lake Oneida until the weather settles. 

Well that's about all I have for tonight, so I bid you all Bon soire
