Day 2 Crossing Lake Oneida & Sylvan Beach

After a 3 hour crossing of Lake Oneida, we were lucky to find a 100 foot spot on the wall for both Fortune’s Favour and Black Diamond including our 20 foot over hanging mast. It was the usual busy Sunday after at the Sylvan Beach area. We bought the kids some day passes and made sure we tried all the rides. Later a little walk through town and the local pizzeria. Picked up some Jimmy Buffet Land Shark Lager.
