Lake Crossing

The Spirit and crew (now comprised of Rich, Chris and new crewmate Nicki) crossed Oneida Lake this morning and are in fine shape. Greenhand Chris is Rich's permanent "bow man", having mastered the art of line-tending through the lock system. We thank him for his documentary skills, as well. Nicki, a family friend, is very excited to be aboard and reminisces of travels in Central America as they traverse the Canal. (That might be a first.) And Rich looks forward to smooth sailing as they get closer to home.
