Winds of 20-25kts have held us captive again, but we made good use of the day.  Ron changed the engine oil and oil filter then donned his wetsuit to clean the slim off the hulls (be still my heart!).  Jean walked to the veggie stand again, vacuumed and mopped the interior, then caught up on this month’s slide show building.  Ron exchanged propane tanks with the help of this  friendly artist who drove him to the store.  Another walk along the riverfront brought us to the coffee shop for a slice of homemade blueberry pie topped with vanilla ice cream (be still Ron’s heart!). 
 
We met another couple who are returning to Canada who gave us good information on Georgian Bay and the North Channel, must-stop places to visit and recommendations for local restaurants.  The Bridge Brats took our food orders again and gave us a tour of the museum  housed in the original bridge house here at Lock 1 of Oswego Canal.  We are in good company with about six boats waiting for winds to subside before heading to Oswego to cross Lake Ontario.
