| On a Calm St. Lawrence Looking SW towards Lake Ontario |
Shortly after getting underway I check the newly installed waterpump. It's spewing like the Trevi Fountain. I'm pretty sure that's not a good thing. We return to the dock, remove the waterpump, and find the smoking gun. The gasket is missing. That raises another, more serious question: where is the gasket? Like a surgeon missing forceps, we fear it's inside our patient. A frantic search follows until Bicki finds the gasket on the shower room floor. Then I remember, yesterday, just before installing the pump, it rolled off the step and into the shower room...

| Clayton, NY to Cape Vincent, NY |
It was 17 (mostly) uneventful miles between Clayton and Cape Vincent. We're currently at 244 miles for 2018 and 6685 miles since leaving Naples in 2016.
As I write this the weather window for crossing Lake Ontario is wide open. May Nellie be in Oswego before the weather gods know she's left Cape Vincent. DBH
