It was a windy day ! We sailed from rochester to oak orchard in 20 -25 knot winds. it felt nice to actually sail. There was a small craft advisory but we figure we must be at least a medium craft ...lol :) 
We arrived at Oak Orchard YC before lunch and settled in quickly. We have been here before and always enjoy it. The club is up a little creek, under a bridge and right in front of ( well actually the between the boats and club house) stands a turtle sanctuary.
It is quiet, beautiful and some of the most friendly people I have ever met run this place :)
All the lily pads are in full bloom.
There are bbq's and a general welcoming hang out area down at the docks. We will bbq our steaks here tonight !
this is the view from the club house up the hill. Our boat is the tallest ( second from left). the turtles are between us and the boats. You can swim behind the boats.
About a 15 minute walk from OOYC is a family farm that was established as a market more than 200 years ago. They sell produce, have an orchard, petting zoo, candy, preserves, gifts, fudge, ice cream and best of all home made pies !!!
Tonights desert is called Family berry pie ( strawberry, rubarb, apple mix)
This is one of their old John Deere's. a 1938 model.
So tonight is steak, pie and relaxing. Tomorrow we will probably head to Youngstown, NY in the Niagara river. ....almost home !
