The great folks at Coeyman’s Landing Marina were able to remove all the items from the radar arch (radar, 2 GPS and a TV antenna) just after lunch time. After a pump out and paying the bill, we got back on the water and underway around 1:45 this afternoon.
We traveled up to Troy, NY where we went through our first lock. We said good-bye to the saltwater and tide at this point and traveled 2 miles to the entrance to the Erie Barge Canal.
We tied up tonight at the Waterford Visitors Center where we put a 65 foot boat in a space for a 60 footer. No problems, but it was a tight squeeze. It was the last available space so we didn’t have much choice.
We will get an early start tomorrow and begin our journey through the “Flight of Five”. The Flight of Five is a series of 5 locks that must be completed all at once. It takes you from Waterford up 150 feet onto the Mohawk River.
More to come…
This red marker was about 10 yards from our boat.
A nice summer cottage backing up to the Hudson River.
The famous "split" between the Erie and Champlain Canals.
It was a tight fit.
We only have inches between our bow and the boat in front of us.
There is at least 6 feet of our boat hanging off the back of the dock. I'm just glad we fit.
