Sacketts Harbor
On Tuesday, June 21st, we headed out into Lake Ontario for a 34-mile cruise to Navy Point Marina in Sacketts Harbor. The cruise across the lake was fortunately uneventful and fairly smooth. The harbor is on the very east end of Lake Ontario. It has a tiny little town that was very neat and tidy. It is one of those communities where everybody knows everybody, including the mayor, by name. Navy Point Marina has a couple of friendly liveaboards, one of which was a Looper Harbor Host. He happened to be in the boat right next to our slip. He and his wife completed the loop a year ago. He was right there to help us in and offer any assistance we needed.
He also invited us to the marina Tiki Honor Bar at 5:00 along with a couple of other loopers that had come into the marina. It was explained to us that the honor bar is not provided by the marina itself, but somehow liquor just seems to show up and periodically gets restocked. You drink what you like, and if you want to leave a donation of either other liquor or a few bucks, it is purely optional. Sue and I did our usual ride about town, finding Sackett Harbor Brewing Co. and a lawn tractor to beat all lawn tractors. The next morning would put us back into the lake for our final leg to the 1000 Islands.
