Locks #20 - #22 Brewerton, NY

Finishing Lock #22 puts us one lock away from completing the Erie Canal.  After Lock #22 we crossed Oneida Lake before arriving in Brewerton.  Since we cross the length of the lake it is important to pick a calm day and not have winds out of the West since the waves would have about 20 miles to build. The crossing was a non event, which is what we always hope for.

Ess Kay was the marina that we chose to stay at for the next several days since a weather system was due in over the weekend with rain, wind and cooler temperatures.  It is a working marina which means repairs can be made, if needed, and they sell a huge range of boat parts.

Cute wooden swing in their yard.

A short walk into town and, shocking, another ice cream stand was found.  Every little town seems to have an ice cream shop, a bakery, and several pubs.

Next to the ice cream stand was a two man local band that played from 6-8 on Sunday and they actually were pretty good and played country music!!

They were also having a small classic car show at the same time.

Docked at Ess Kay.

One last item we picked up from the marina store was a small Canadian flag. It's customary for boats traveling in foreign waters to fly a courtesy flag to show your respect. After our next stop in Oswego, NY we will head to Canadian waters.
