The tie down straps are really good. You want to ratchet them up tight.
Remember you will go under a low bridge about 1-2 hours after leaving
Oswego. The marina can advise. You do want to get under it intact.
Also lash a 2x4 to the top of the mast so it extends a foot, or so, past
the nav light. When someone grabs the end of your mast as it is coming
toward them or it hits the wall you will find it easier to later remove
the 2x4 than replace the nav light.
Make sure you have BIG fenders and use boards to protect them as you go
up and down the walls. Some of the walls have exposed rock.
When you buy supplies remember to stock up. Although there are food
stores along the way they are well off the path and assuming you will be
in transit for many hours of the day given the longer daylight of
summer. You may not find them open when you need them. If you are trying
to move quickly, Oswego, Waterford, New York City (Sheep's Head Bay),
Annapolis, Norfolk, Elizabeth City... will be the major supply
locations. Skipper Bob's book gives advice.
Cheers
Don
