Youngstown to Wilson Tuscarora Yacht Club


There was nothing for us at Niagara on the Lake so we left our mooring early, skipping out on our second free day at Niagara Sailing Club.  We went across to Youngstown to clear customs for USA. The docking was a little difficult in windy conditions. People at the club were talking  and there was a cleaning crew cleaning the concrete at the club.  Nobody helped us dock.  We were at a dock exclusively for members, but we were not going to stay long if we had no problems with customs.

Long sail to Wilson. Wind picked up as we came up to Wilson.  Nice sailing. DF gets excited when we reach 8.2 knots.  That is confirmed on boat speed calibrated with GPS,

Nick signed us in at Tuscarora Yacht Club and we got dock I85.  We motored in slowly while Daniele moved the fenders from port to starboard and Nick helped us dock in a tiny dock that was about 20 feet long.

Wilson was a nice town. We took a 5 mile walk to buy some groceries at an IGA Mart with particular empathizes on cream for pasta and beer for the crew.  We walked through a cemetery back to the boat. 

We had AC Power so we charged up the toys
Refilled boat water and drinking water. The Wilson club was on an island and had two impeccable buildings. 

Since we had AC Power, we recharged everything from cameras to cellphones to electric toothbrushes and power tools.



Supper was Daniele's Spaghetti alla Carbonara, which was more difficult to do on a boat.
