Change of plan

21 September 2011 | Pultneyville, NY
Now we're just a mile from Pultneyville. The entrance is tricky and I am very concerned about sailing into this harbour. Michele and I decide not to even attempt it. Now we have to pick a new destination that I am comfortable sailing into. We look through the Ports guide and one by one eliminate every port from here to Wilson New York. Wilson we know well. We have plenty of friends there that can come and tow us in if we need it and if the wind is right I can sail in there. The problem is it's 70 or 80 miles to Wilson. We are doing about 5 miles an hour right now but that depends on wind. For some reason we never considered turning east to Sodus or Little Sodus bay. I probably could have sailed into either one but we've never been to either and heading West towards home just seemed logical. We could also have simply sailed home but I wasn't quite ready to give up our trip. So off to Wilson it is. A quick phone call to our friends Eddie and Linda to let them know what is happening and we're set.
