Cheeseburger in Paradise


We spent a quiet evening in Oak Orchard at the Lake Breeze Marina, and had our usual great breakfast at the cafe before heading out to Wilson, NY.  We stayed at Bootlegger's Cove Marina, where we were last year, and wandered over to the Wilson Island Yacht Club to see whether anything was going on this weekend.

Too bad we were leaving Saturday morning, because this was the "Cheeseburger in Paradise" weekend, with great food and live music throughout the weekend.  Lots of Canadian boats, mostly power, arrived for the event. 

We joined in for Friday night's Beef on Weck dinner, and met Dave Jordan and Marilyn Wilson.  It turns out that Marilyn owns the Wilson Village Launderette which opened last year, after Wilson being without public laundry facilities for years.  The Launderette is a beautiful little place, and Marilyn has now included a gallery where local artists can showcase and sell their work.  Dave is also friends with Walter - the harbourmaster at Youngstown, where we're heading next.
