Day 47, 7.13.18, Cape Vincent, NY

Friday. We had thought to visit Sacket Harbor, but just yesterday we learned of the French Festival in Cape Vincent, NY. It starts this afternoon, and it's half way to Kingston, ON. So we'll pass on Sacket. 

Nice wind out of Henderson, then it dies for an hour, then picks up to a nice 10-12mph wind from the west giving us a nice reach for several hours until we round the point to approach Cape Vincent. Even though we're technically still in Lake Ontario, we're starting to feel the current of the St. Lawrence pulling water out.

Welcome!
There are many boats in town for the festival, and our shallow draft gives us the winning ticket again. We find an ideal wall to tie to in a city park with bathrooms and lots of other boaters to chat with, both US and Canadian.


We're surrounded!
Pizza.
Pizza cooked in the bar-b for dinner. In front of the firehouse, three blocks away, the first of many bands plays rock and roll cover songs.

And the band plays on.

Days 36-38, August 4-6. Homeward bound

Exiting the New River near low is rather exciting. The whole estuary funnels through a narrow channel and can reach high speeds with rapids...
