CLEAR, SUNNY, WIND 0MPH
DEP OSWEGO 06:50 ARR. KINGSTON 2:00
DIST 51.5SM/577.5
It was worth the wait. After 3 days of blowing in Oswego we finally got a good, if not perfect day to cross the big "O". Waves less than 1', cloudless sky, almost unlimited visability. Nothing to do but set the auto helm and watch for boats. Met with Dudden Pilot, Pilgrim, Scarecrow, and Reality check. Went on the 4:00 trolley tour. Wouldn't do it again. Had dinner with Cei & Ron at a mediocre beer pub.
DAY 25 KINGSTON H. Cool and WINDY!
Did the laundromat, grocery shopping (we still have to eat you know) and mostly chilled out.
DAY 26 KINGSTON H. Cool and WINDY! See day 25.
DAY 27 KINGSTON H. Cool and WINDY! We didn't want to stay, but the winds were blowing and discretion being the better part of valor, stayed in port. I found out from Verizon, contrary to what I was told, that data was at the rate of $2.05 C, per mb. With average usage of 2G per month, that works out to about $4K. Maureen, from Dudden Pilot found a way to make it more affordable, so we hiked up to Rogers Stores and purchased a "Rogers Rocket." This gives us the privilege of purchasing a data plan which allows us 1.5G for $150, plus the "rocket" which is sort of an air card.We need this because you can't do your banking on wi-fi. Speaking of which, these blogs may get scarce if wi-fi becomes scarce. Tomorrow they throw us out, wind or no, but the forecast is good.
