Day #347 - Oswego, NY
July 13th, 2009Yesterday when we arrived Brad arranged for divers to go down and check his props to see if that was what was causing the new vibration. They came back up and reported that the props looked good so that was not the problem. Saga continues.
We were visited at the marina by a couple of gentlemen from Canada. They brought along their laptop and showed us pictures of some of the areas we will be visiting.
After that we walked up the hill and we had a great dinner at the Press Box not far from the marina.
This morning Brad and Patti took Salvage Crew out for a test run and the vibration was still there. Finally after much deliberation and exploration it was decided that it indeed was the prop, so they switched it out with a spare they had. Hopefully that will take care of the situation.
We all took care of laundry, boat chores, securing needed charts, etc. to make the run across Lake Ontario tomorrow. Waves today were 4-5 feet. As the day went on, the forecast changed and it looks like tomorrow will still be too windy. Wednesday looks better so we will wait.
Oswego was first visited in 1615 by the French explorer Samuel de Champlain. The British established a trading post in the area in 1722. Some of the buildings are quite old and unfortunately many are vacant.
We all got our cell phone and internet arranged so that we can use them in Canada so lots was accomplished today. And, so we wait…
