The Hudson and Erie Canal
May 8th to 21st….sorry, I’m behind on my blogs ☹️
Back onboard and heading north after a heart warming visit with our children and grandchildren.
2 Days with Lori, Dan and Vivienne…too sweet for words.
and 2 days with Frank, Victoria and Atlas….😘😍
We anchored out by Kingston…the river got nice and still.
Docked in Coxsackie for 2 nights with our friends Beth and Doug on Boomerang; nice to catch up with them.
One lock in Troy, then we make the turn onto the Mohawk River and our first overnight in Waterford. The Erie Canal System starts here and opened the day before we arrived. We stayed 2 nights, hoping logs and debris would clear out before we began our transit.
3 days, 28 locks dodging debris to finally arrive in Oswego….we pushed it a little as conditions on Lake Ontario look good for tomorrow.
Drinks with fellow boats and an early night for a tired crew.
We have decided to take the time to explore the 1,000 islands before heading home….squeezing in one more must see area.
