Lake Ontario to St Vincent, NY

July 14, 15, 16 2011  Thursday, Friday and Saturday

Sailing when we could but the wind was so light and fickle that we had to motor most of the way.  I wanted to make Cape Vincent during daylight so 30 miles before our destination I stopped everything and drifted from 2000 hrs until 0300.  A glorious sunset, slick-assed calm with not a whisper of air and no swell.  A wonderful night of stars and thoughts.  Amazingly enough, the miserable black flies of the other Lakes have been replaced by  small flies that do not bite and don't flee when impending death is upon them.  Starting to get a few mosquitoes but they haven't been a problem.
