CC Yacht Delivery: Autumn on the Erie Canal

Sorry I didn't post yesterday. The internet was painfully slow in St Johnsville and I didn't want to deal with it. Yesterday we traveled 70 miles and went through 14 locks. Waterford to St Johnsville is a nice run on the Mohawk river, but the best of the Erie Canal was coming today.

We had another terrific day on the water. We left out of St Johnsville this morning at 7:00am and covered 7 locks and 82 miles. We had a speed restriction of 10mph all day on the canal except for Lake Oneida where we were able to get up on plane.

We are in Brewerton, NY, just outside of Syracuse. The leaves are just starting to change and with a good strong wind today, we had lots of leaves blowing off the trees as we traveled through the canal. I needed a rake to clean the boat tonight instead of buck of soap and a deck brush.

We expect to make at least Oswego tomorrow, but more likely we will get out onto Lake Ontario and try to go all the way to Rochester, NY. That will leave us a shorter day on Monday. The boat continues to run great and we have had no issues (knock on wood).

Here are a few pictures from today.
