    Stayed here 5/26/23. Nice area, easy walk to auto parts, Aldi, pizzeria, etc. Phone number is correct here for contacting dock master at 315-404-6532, however Kevin LaPorto is dock master.

    Stayed on west side of lock wall. No power but a very nice stay for 1 night. Lock master very accommodating & happy to see people use the wall. Quiet, no bugs as it was cool night but looked like new LED (street) lights installed on wall for security.

    Brought Latitude Adjustment on Apr 26. Felt we had port engine problem, drove 20+ miles to TJ's on Starboard engine. They looked at issue immediately & decided not engine problem so we did short haul with suspect of having grabbed a crab pot. This was done within 30 minutes of arrival. Removed crab pot that was twisted around port prop & rope from SB prop. Offered the haulout bay to berth us for nite at great rate! Also helped with minor genny problem in morning. If you need a great crew to look at your boat, call TJ'S Marina.
