Day 364 – June 20th 2023

Turning into the Erie Canal

Today is a busy day of lots of locks!!! We are up early at 6:00 am and off the dock at 7:00. Found out the lock doesn’t open til 8:00 so we tied up to a wall and waited til 8:00. At 8:00 we locked thru with 3 other boats Medici, Frosty, & Bay Explorer.

Dawn, Charlie, and Patti ready for our first lock of the day

Locking is not hard you just have to keep a tight hand on the ropes and pay attention!!! We made it successfully through nine locks today!!!! We are feeling pretty confident!!!

Play this video to get a feel for inside the lock

We stopped for the night at Riverlink Park in Amsterdam NY. After a good dinner of salmon and some veggies, Patti and I went up to the flybridge with a cocktail and sat and enjoyed the view. I was in bed by 8:30pm. Goodnight!!!!
