Oak Orchard to Youngstown NY

Well there it is ..that across the river is Canada.

We are at the Youngstown NY yacht club.
Officially we cannot enter Canada until tomorrow.
We will sail to the Hamilton yacht club and arrive at 2 pm, according to our import brokers report to Canada Customs. He has assured us that all the papers are filed and the duty is paid to officially import the boat :)Good thing the check cleared ...lol


We had a great little walk in Youngstown in the rain. Then called a taxi to take us for chicken wings !!! We had to ...we are sooo close...lol


After wings we went to Lewiston for ice cream :) it is a beautiful little town with lots of shops much like its counter part across the river..niagara on the lake




The fog is rolling into the river.


These are just a few of the many boats moored in the niagara river.
After landing in Hamilton tomorrow we plan to have dinner at the club ( we need to spend some of our quarterly ) If anyone is around come have dinner with us !!!
We then plan to sleep on the boat and do a little cleaning up. Wednesday we are hoping that my mom will pick us up and bring us back to Cambridge ( are you reading this mom ??? lol)
Thursday afternoon we have an appointment in Toronto with the Registry office of transport canada to officially name Blowin' Bubbles ( after another small $300 fee to them for the privilege she will be ready to sail as a Canadian vessel :).
We will continue to blog as we spend the next few years sailing and fixing her up the way we wish. And in 4 years she will take on the world !!
