Our new home port in Sackets harbor

One of the 30 locks we have  finished

This was not one our better days.  We needed an electrical part and the dock master was nice enough to pick it up for us and deliver it to the marina when he came to work.  That meant that we would have a late start.  That wasn't  big deal as we didn't have far to go.  While we were waiting for the part we went to breakfast.  It did not live up to our expectations and was kinda pricey.  When the part came it was to small.  So our late start was for not.  Once we got out into the lake the winds were

blowing at a pretty good clip and the waves were way higher than my courage level was.  Thankfully Jim turned the boat around and we went back to port.   We then had to dock ourselves, we did it but it wasn't easy or smooth.  After checking the weather I guess we are in Sacket's Harbor for at least 2 days.  I should have kept my mouth shut and let Jim go on to Clayton.  More time to get ready for the next round of locks.
