New London, NY

We left our Air B&B bright and early on Thursday, October 4 to drive the four hours back to Brewerton to resume our cruise.  Bloomfield, NJ was a nice town with attractive houses and a great location for commuters to New York. Unfortunately, we missed talking any photos there except this cute one which was actually a private home (and must have been a station at one time).



It turned out to be a very rainy day and Jonny even let Lynn drive for the worst of it which is kind of amazing.  The Enterprise people dropped us off at Zendo and we rushed to get going so as to make it across so Lake Oneida before sunset.  We only have three days to make it to Albany so we can fly to Fort Lauderdale on Monday.  That meant that we had to travel the final 150 miles of Lake Erie going through xx locks along the way. We thanked the marina owners for their hospitality and for taking good care of Georgio and we took off for a show trip cruise to New London, NY.

The weather had cleared (unpredictably) so we had a very smooth crossing.



Once across we arrived at a lock wall with no services in very remote area and tied up for the night.  The temperature was predicted to go down to the 40’s that night so we put an extra blanket on the bed.  Obviously, this is another reason to start heading south!

We spent the evening doing route planning and working on the blog though we had no connectivity for publishing. Dinner consisted of a satisfying dish of sausage, peppers, and mushrooms and we went to bed early so we could leave at dawn.
