After three jam-packed days, we finally gave ourselves the gift of a slow morning—sleeping in and savoring a relaxed start. With the wind at our backs, we crossed Lake Oneida under near-perfect conditions. We couldn’t help but think how lucky we were not to be heading the other way—those whitecaps would’ve made for a much less pleasant ride!
We pulled into Winter Harbor Marina, where our floating home will stay while we head back to see our family. We miss them so much and are really looking forward to some quality time together. While we’re away, Jeff is coordinating with the marina’s mechanics to knock out a few minor maintenance items (he calls it “preventative care,” I call it “the boat spa”). Meanwhile, I dove into the usual pre-travel whirlwind: laundry, packing, and tidying up before we say goodbye for a few weeks.
It feels bittersweet to step away from the adventure for a bit—but family time is calling, and we can’t wait to answer.
