Day 70 Goodbye USA ay

Took a day off from boating and walked around Oswego. It seems like we've been in NY forever since we went up the coast then crossed the state. It was still delightfully cool today, but the nights get really chilly. When we got home last night after hiking down to hear the Atlantic Rhythm Section, Jack had drug out DJ Kitty to keep him company. (Pic 1) He's so neglected. The local residents advised us to get some fleece or we would freeze in Canada, so we found a bike shop that had some appropriate jackets. The clothing company is big into recycling (no pun intended since it was a bike shop) so the fleece is made partially out of recycled material. Also it has been tested for warmth on the "peak of Everest" so I'm thinking they will do for the boat AND we helped save the environment. Harborfest has been going on all day. Boats are rafted 8 deep on the wall in front of the band and bar. Pic 2 shows one of the bandstands right across from our marina. Grand Funk Railroad is playing tonight.  Hmmm, how many of them are still original from the early '70's?? Dinner with MaryLynn, John and her sister, Barb before they head out to Webster.  Then we are crossing Lake Ontario (pic 4) for Kingston early tomorrow while the weather is good, so we will miss the huge fireworks display, but we will be in Canada, mon cheri! It's hard to believe we've come this far. Will try to keep in touch and blog as much as we can over the next three weeks.
