2nd Overnight at Upper Brewers

44°24′49″ N 76°18′46″ W

Today was a quiet day. This location is a popular spot with boaters as it has electricity, hot showers & ice! It is also an easy distance to & from Kingston.

I did a number of small maintenance jobs & continued my cleaning & reorganization project for the storage lockers.

It rained for about an hour in the late afternoon & several fellow boaters were hurrying around closing up their windows & hatches. By the time they had everything sealed up the rain had stopped & the sun came out again.

During the rain I was stuck inside so it was a good time to clean & refill my alcohol stove. I really like this little rig. It’s very safe, simple & efficient & the fuel (pure methyl hydrate) is readily available at most hardware stores.

In the photo below I am checking the fuel canister to make sure it is not overfilled. Any excess fuel that drains out goes back in the storage can for the next time.

Tomorrow I will continue traveling north to Davis Lockstation or Chafey’s Lock – depending upon which place has the best mooring spot available.

Cheers
