Well, it seems that all systems have been checked, new upholstery installed, new awnings under construction & most of the "necessities of life" have been safely stowed. Now we wait & watch for a good weather window to make the crossing to Rochester & on to Oswego. Our crew ( thanks Shirley & John) are arriving on the 27th & then the countdown begins. Crossing the lake in a trawler requires a more careful eye on the weather than the sailboat did but we do have flexibility in our schedule.
