10-13-10, Lock 19 Wall, Close to Frankfort, NY

We woke to a very cold, frosty, foggy morning.  The fog cleared by 8:15AM and we headed across Lake Oneida.  There was very little wind, so that was good, since we have the mast down.  We saw one sailboat, in the canal at the end of Lake Oneida that had run aground. There was a little marina that he was probably heading toward that was not deep enough for a boat with a keel.  A power boat was there to pull him out as we passed.  We stopped at lock #19.  We got there at about 6:00 PM.  The locks close at 5:00 PM.  There were 3 other sailboats there.  We had no shore power.  Jim made a camp fire in a grill and Kyle did some slack-lining between two pine trees.  We will be one of the first boats to go through lock 19 tomorrow.

A view to the end of the dock and across the canal, in the early morning.

From our dock to across the canal as the fog was breaking up.
