Rained most of the night...got up, still raining, went back to bed...slept really well..I think we were tired..long couple of days...
Rain stopped...so after showers, we shoved off at 10:15 AM...70 degrees, humid..cloudy..
Lock #8 - thru 10:47 AM
Lock #7 - thru 12:37
NYS Thruway Authority called...Ken talked with them about the incident....Ken gave him all the info..they were going to check out the area and put a "danger buoy" there
to warn other mariners....I think it is called "Mary stopped here"
Lock #6 - thru 2:15 the beginning of 5 locks called the "Flight" as like a flight of stairs...all right close together and each one drops 33.5 ft or more..
Lock #5 - thru 2:56 PM
Lock #4 - thru 3:15
Lock #3 - thru 3:36
Lock #2 - thru 4:10 our last lock on NYS Canal System (liked the lockmaster, Chris)
very friendly...suggested Angry Penguin for supper...ok then
4:15 Docked for the night Waterford Harbor, FREE docks,power,baths..yippy!
6:30 Back to the boat after the Angry Pelican...we had onion rings and nachos..good
supper, huh...too full to eat a sandwich....appetizers work
Met Norman Mason from the 36 ft boat "Peggy Sue" he saw on the back of our boat that
we were from Cape Vincent,NY...they had stopped there and loved Cape Vincent...he is
from Norfolk, VA and gave us wonderful tips on anchorages along the way to VA..said
when we get to Norfolk to call him, has a car for our use and a discount at the Norfolk Yacht Club..he is a member...he is traveling with another gentleman David West on a cat. they were great...he gave us his card...dang I knew I should have had some bus.cards made up for the Gypsy Wind...oh well, like Scarlet would say.."I can't think about that today, I'll think about it tomorrow" Ken and I are enjoying the down time..Life is Good!
