Day 29, 6.24.18, Sylvan Beach

Sunday brings more drizzle. Our wall-mate in the big powerboat leaves as soon as the lock opens, but we wait for clearer skies. Peter joins us to descend the lock, then he disembarks and we continue west through Lock 22 and on to Sylvan Beach on the shore of Lake Oneida. This is a small resort town with amusement park and lots of boats and a big beach. Most of the homes on the beach are rentals.

42 feet of drop.  Finally we are headed DOWN the locks.  Lock 21's concrete is

Peter joins us before departing eastward on his bikeride across the state to share our traverse through Lock 21!

The beachfront arcade at Sylvan Beach is reminiscent of years long gone by.

Zoltar tells all!

Harpoon Eddie's

Harpoon Eddies has the most awesome band!

Among the mix is a bar with live music, so we enjoy a drink and dance to several of their songs. Such fun! The drizzle continues on and off all day and so we find ourselves hanging out on the boat between the rains.  It's a great spot!  Cars pay to park but we dock for free right downtown on the pier!

After dinner we take a walk about town and down some sidestreets. People are having a small party at their house, and one of them looks out and says 'Hey! It's the dancers from Harpoon Eddies! We are invited in for a beer, stories, and listening to music.
