Sorry folks, no pictures this time. Unfortunately our scenery hasn't been very exciting due to a very nasty thing called fog. This entry is mainly to thank the Olcott Yacht Club for their assistance in getting Meggie, Mike and I safely to a secure slip in the thikest fog I've ever seen. Under the careful instruction of Sue from OYC, we were able to safely come through the breakwalls and into the safety of Olcott's harbour. We somehow found a fishing boat out there that didn't come into view until it was about 15 feet off our beam, and we didn't see the HUGE red flashing light on the end of the west pier until we were about a boat length from it. Without Sue on the radio guiding us in, we don't know what we would have done. I wonder how much radar is???????
So thank you a million times to Sue(for your guidance...literally), Mike (for dinner, drinks and super hospitality), customs officers for not having to rip our boat apart for an inspection and thank you to the rest of the OYC members.
We're now in Rochester, NY and hope to head to Oswego where we get to experience the joy of demasting Meggie....ugghhh. Oh well, it's all part of the adventure.
So, just a quick update for now, when we have some more exciting news we'll let you know.
Ciao (and as always we love the comments, so keep them coming)

aug 30 mike and kylie get a copy of skipper bob's new york canal system. it's easy going in this system, but i think hudson and beyond will be harder going, so lets try to meet up before new york city. we are in phoniex right now and plan to cross lake oneinda today.
sounds like quite the adventure so far. i'm looking forward to seeing new pics, i love the one of you in your rain gear kylie. glad to hear that you are surving fine and that people on the water have been good friends to you guys. it's nice to have a community on your side. well, so much for looking for stuff to do in the long hours at sea! anyway, i'm thinking about you guys. all the best, love jo
Forget the radar!We purchased radar 3 or 4 years ago. We had been caught in the fog entering Stokes Bay without gps or engine. We vowed then and there to purchase radar for the next seasons sailing. Ever since we purchased it we have NOT HAD FOG. So where you are going there is not enough fog to worry about. Good luck with the removal of your "hand made masts". I'm sure you will have no problems with that job. We are enjoying your emails.

Hi Guys
Very happy to get the web site and catch up on your adventure. Things in Thornbury are not the same without you 2 there. Will watch the web for all the updates. Keep em coming.
Reading your comments made us remember fog soup the first trip to the North Channel! Glad you are safe. We have had the same wet weather, as you have heard from harbour pals we all stayed here except for Tegan. Warmer beds and creature comforts on shore. Nic reads your comments with dreams in his eyes - one more year to graduation then he can venture off also. They are both packing up today. Mike's skills for maintenance were never in doubt! Just too bad you had to use them on the mast so soon. Take care, and love to read along with you.
sept 4 hi guys we arrived in waterford yesterday. we are hoping to be in new york city on friday.hoping for better weather,we have to keep moving to get back to work on time and twiceloved as for south as possible. we have been talking to other boaters and we have heard of a reasonable marina in the cheasapeake, we will let you know when we can. keep safe and stop in little falls. twiceloved over and out.
So glad to hear that you guys are having a great time, we are so happy for you guys and I can't wait to hear more. Living vicariously through you is so much more my speed! I can't wait for more pic's and stories

Hey there,
Glad to hear everything is going well despite some minor mishaps. I finally found your page and will check it often. Things are getting colder here and we wish we were heading south as well. Brother-in law Chris caught up with TwiceLoved at MainDuck Island in lake Ontario. They saw a boat with the mast down and said 'What are the chances'. What do you know, it was TwiceLoved. If we can help with anything, let us know.

sept 6 you two are really doing great with your travelling. we can't believe it we are now in catskill we stayed here for 2 nights. there is a hurricane coming up the coast. in new york city we will be anchored at sandy hook, depending on weather, hope we can meet soon. the hudson river is a breeze, tides are easy to deal with. weather is going to be sunny, which will be great. see you soon, twice loved standing by on 16.
As we said to Twiced Loved, hopefully you will soon get together!!!!!!!!, either on Channel 16 or, better yet, on the water. Hope all is going well.
Hello Mike & Kylie, Mike's Dad has just introduced me to your Blog, I'm very much looking forward to following your fantastic adventure from the sedate surrounds of rural England. To avoid confusion, I'm Mike's Dad's half brother Tim. I think what your have achieved so far is both remarkable and uplifting, and I really look forward to following the adventure. Good Luck to you, Tim
