Getting ready to cruise

We will be leaving Rochester on or about July5th. This year we are taking Water Colors, our Hunter 33.5, and going to circumnavigate Lake Ontario. This will be the first time for a 4 week trip around the lake.

To prepare for it, I bought a gain antenna for USB/WiFi and the Internet. Just checked it out at Amway Marine and it works great. Now maybe I can keep track of e-mail and enter new stuff on this blog about the trip. We can also attach images, so I am really looking forward to this.

A calendar has been prepared with two definite destinations. Kingston on July 11, 12, and 13. We will meet up with the cruising fleet from GYC there. Afterwards it's off towards the Port Credit Yacht Club on July 24, 25, and 26, and the Lake Ontario Hunter Sailing Association annual rendezvous, sponsored by Angus Yachts of Toronto. They are calling it the Angus Rendezvous because they are having customers with power boats come also.

The rest of of the trip will be south then east arriving in Rochester around August 1st. I try to publish more as time goes on.
