Fulton, NY

We left Sylvan Beach early because we wanted to cross Oneida Lake before the wind picked up. There was a slight chop on the lake, but not bad, and the waves diminished as we headed west. Oneida Lake is 20 miles long, 4 miles wide, and 30-40 ft deep.
We fueled up at Ess-Kay Yards in Brewerton, NY. We took on 213 gallons at $4/gal.
Went through our last lock on the Erie Canal, #23. Entered the Oswego Canal & went through locks 1 & 2.
Stopped at Canal Landing Marina in Fulton, NY. It has a free floating dock with electric. Unfortunately the water at the dock isn't working. The guide books recommend this marina only for small boats, but with Al at the wheel, there was no problem maneuvering into a slip.
Tomorrow we'll head to Oswego.
