I’m tied up at the town dock in Waterford. It was a relaxed trip up the river, and fun to travel almost all the way with a tail current by timing the tides.
The NY canal system is scheduled to open on Friday, and I’m here until then. My original plan was to go through Lake Champlain, but I’ve decided to take the more direct route through the Erie Canal to Oswego. It’ll put me in Ontario faster and saves having to round up crew for the Seaway and Chambly locks.
It’s nice to stop for a few days. As usual I have things to do aboard. My bow thruster stopped working in the Bahamas, and I could use it for the next couple of weeks of locking. And the outside needs a good wash down. Get all that salt off.
