Mahi Mahi- Fri Jun 27; Lake Ontario, Oswego to Rochester NY (re-posted)

Yesterday’s blog is being re-posted, I forgot one of the big highlights of the day.

We were going to dinner at Murph’s in Rochester NY, and look what we saw.

We left Oswego New York today at about 7am. The wind/ waves were predicted to be high, but the wind was from the SE so we figured that we could ride the south shore.

The first hour of the ride was great, but as our direct, shortest distance route took us further away from shore (5-7 miles), the water started getting a bit uncomfortable.

So we made an abrupt change in course, heading closer to shore, and as expected – the waves calmed down to a very comfortable ride for the next 4 hours.

The heavy purple line was the original course, the light yellow & red lines were the revised course. The red arrow is the Mahi.

We traveled 60 miles, departing at 7am with a 1:45pm arrival.

We had the daily “safe arrival drinks”, checked in with the very friendly staff, and then took the pre-dinner naps.

Short rain burst at 5pm, only 20 minutes. Then it was time for exploring.

We had a nice Tiki Bar right next to our marina, and the marina gave us 2 free drink wooden coins, so we felt compelled to go see what we could get with our drink Wooden Coins.

The Tiki Bar was called “Schooners”. It was a pretty cool place with live music, a typical bar band.

Schooner’s was pretty cool, the music was good, but we had a greater purpose on our list.

Every time we dock in a new city, I try to find out what Restaurants, Bars, and Pubs are nearby. I stumbled on this one.

We had a fine dinner at Murph’s. The food was good, the service was great, and we got a free “Murph’s” glass.

Right next door to Murph’s, was a liquor store. I was gettin’ worried because I was down to the last bottle that Carrie had got for me back in St Johnsville.

The liquor store only had 2 bottles of Anejo Tequila, and I let the woman also looking for Anejo get the other brand. So I was stuck with this one. Sorry Frank, it is not up to our normal standards, but I was desperate.

So the night ended with sampling the Villa One Anejo Tequila, in the Murph’s glass.

It was indeed a good day.

Thanks for reading,
