The winds calmed allowing us to cross Oneida Lake. The lake is shallow and the strong winds make her choppy. The locals strongly advised us to wait it out. Oneida is about 20 miles long, a couple miles wide and kicks up. We travelled along going through locks to Oneida Lake. The lake was calm and thankfully uneventful. Heading on to Rome made a long day. Rome was only a wall to tie to w/o amenities (it's amazing how much you get for free!). It was a 10 hour day with lots of sun and heat. We made a cold dinner, had cold beverages, turned on the fans and went to bed. The night welcomed a refreshing thunderstorm. The mayor arrived with his wife and welcomed us to Rome!

Short day to Ilion where we welcome the amenities including cable tv. An Aldi's grocery store down the hill (which means up the hill with your purchases). Caught up on laundry. It's an interesting combination to have a campground and marina together. Oh! Found a tree along the way to Ilion just under the surface in the middle of the river. Still waiting to inspect for damage. We begin to see remnants of last years storm. Fellow cruisers inform us we will see considerably more.
