Left Lock 21's south wall at 7:10AM in order to cross Lake Oneida and get to Brewerton before noon. Lake was exceptionally calm allowing smooth passage and less fuel. Need to have oil changed in both engines and starboard generator and there seems to a competent marina in the city.

Here we are at Winter Harbor Marina in Brewerton, NY. around 10:40AM.  Oh, but trouble in River City. Changing the oil is no problem. However we developed a slight leak in the starboard heat exchanger and fuel supply. Plenty of evidence of a larger pending problem and parts have to ordered. Should have them Saturday with scheduled work finished on Monday and maybe we can leave Tuesday. Luckily this is a very nice marina with shipyard services so they're competent to do the work. A Caterpillar engine technician will also come to revive everything.
