One more post about Oswego then I promise I'll post something different. Our canoe is going either the sat after easter or two sat after easter. We plan to touch water by 7:00-7:30. That should be early enough to beat the crowds. Right? Does Oswego push like Batsto does. Meaning you really don't need to know where you are going. You just have to know when to stop. thanks again for all your replies. They have been incredibly helpful.
