Day 34, 6.30.18, Ithaca

Saturday starts with heat warnings, but out on the lake with a 15-20mph wind, it's chilly enough to wear long sleeves. We sail about a dozen miles, then enter Ithaca's harbor, home to Cornell University and Gary's niece Jessie. She joins us on the boat after we go shopping. But it's very hot here in town, so the three of us head back to the open lake where it's slightly cooler. 

Gary's son Peter arrives on the bus about 5pm, so we return to town and pick him up, and head directly back to the lake. The wind has died, and the heat builds. Nothing to do but go for a swim!

Dinner for all four of us of grilled salmon, potato salad, green salad. Then we drop Jessie off and find a place to anchor for the night.

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...
