Days 165-166: July 1-2, 2023

Henderson Bay / Continued Engine Issues

The weather was warm, and it was time to head for the Thousand Islands, which are located between Canada and New York and partially lie in both countries. As it was a big distance, our first stop was Henderson Bay, after a 6-hour voyage. It would have been a shorter trip, but our port engine was acting up again and we did the journey on only one engine. Still, presumably, a fuel issue. And with it being a weekend and the July 4th holiday coming up, there was no way to get a local mechanic to investigate. We’ll be on one engine for a while it appears.

When we got to the anchorage, it was time to relax. We all enjoyed a nice dip in the water to cool off while sipping our safe-arrival beverages.

Cape Vincent

The next stop on the way to the Thousand Islands was Cape Vincent. Tonia, Boris and Mayli walked around town, but I was a bit stressed/exhausted from the trip on one engine that I passed.

We did have a wonderful happy hour with Leave it to Wally.
