Day 1 – Goodbye Rochester

And we’re off. We left the port of Rochester, Starbucks in hand (the last for a while), at 0900, and headed out for this long awaited adventure. It was uncharacteristically foggy on the lake, so it was good practice using our foghorn and radar, which will be standard operating procedure when we get to the Canadian Maritimes and Maine.

Our good friends, Todd and Carl escorted us on the first days of the voyage aboard s/v Resurgence. After 6 hours of mostly motoring, we anchored in Little Sodus Bay, one of the nicest spots on the South shore of Lake Ontario, and enjoyed drinks, dinner and an Eagles cover band at Colloca Vineyards.

    From our cockpit in Portoferraio to yours! No fog here – sometimes not much wind either – but Corsica and Elba have been wonderful. Thanks for sharing your adventure. We’ll be reading with interest. Early stop at a vineyard seems promising for the rest of the trip! Xx

    Bonne nav ! Pas trop de moteur : l’horamètre sera contrôlé à l’arrivée. Beau bateau, Resurgence !

    Have a great adventure. We’ll be following you (and enjoying the adventure vicariously!) daily.

    Thanks for sharing this Dan. I saw you and Resurgence heading out of the River Saturday Morning, but didn’t realize this was the start or your Journey. I look forward to following your adventures!
    All my best to you and Sandy. Fair winds! ~~_/)*~~
