High expectations

Telltale truck. Down at the far end of the space that’s always been our Onondaga Lake Marina, I spied a construction truck that provided a big hint to what’s going on behind the fence. A new dock and seawall!, thought I. Can’t wait to see what the boats will have to tie up to come…

New digs at the marina

Something happening here. My recent stroll to my favorite Onondaga Lake Park allowed me a closer look behind the fence I noticed my last visit. Marina construction. The marina is under construction, I see. Heavy lifting. There were big posts going in. I walked further and watched …

Back home

Almost empty. As the last days of October wound down, I took a stroll through my lovely Onondaga Lake Marina to take note of the boat count. Going, going, almost completely gone. Can’t say I blame the owners for taking their crafts out of the water and bringing back to wherever they spend the cold…

Still ready for action

Not gone yet. An autumn stroll that reached the Onondaga Lake Marina found the boats still ready for action. Indeed. Some names of course caught me eye, too. It would not take me long to start calling that Godfrey beauty <em>Arthur</em>.

Lonely marina

Awaiting Memorial Day. The still of the Onondaga Lake Marina is a good spot to stop and think during a December stroll. I think I don’t want to walk as far this month as I do in others.

Bye, boats

Empty. When I strolled down from the Village of Liverpool to Onondaga Lake Park on a sunny November day, I figured the marina would be devoid of boats. Yes, no takers for water voyages.

Whatever floats yours

Looking good. I really like taking photos of the boats that gather at Onondaga Lake Marina. Going out on boats, though, is really a task for me. I have to secure the seasickness patch and stick it behind my ear a day beforehand. Or else. This I learned growing up as a seasick lad out…

Catchy name

Good one. I like to picture the boat owners gathered around with tightened brows as they figure out the perfect name for their vessel. And then I screw up my best face imagining tales about the boat … Coral Fixation, set up for a spin through the islands, right?!

Protected spot

Ready and waiting. The picnic table and benches are set up for lunchtime visitors outside the Onondaga Lake Marina, but, during my stroll, no takers. The shade looks perfect, too.
