Lake Ontario is a huge body of water that can have ocean sized waves in windy weather. We took advantage of the absolutely still night of October 5 to cross from Whitby, Ontario to Oswego, New York. The lake was as flat as a mirror and the only wind was that which we created as we motored across. It was a peaceful, beautifully clear night with the planet Mars sparkling like a diamond pendant below the smile of a crescent moon.
Upon arrival at Oswego, we tied up to the municipal dock waiting for a Monday visit from Customs to clear us into the USA. Then we waited another day because a big barge was blocking the whole Oswego Canal a few miles ahead. Seabbatical is too wide to get through until the barge was removed.

Greetings from all of us stuck here in Des Moines, where the temperature over the past few weeks has rarely ventured above 60 and rain has been a frequent companion. Enjoy the voyage!
