We passed through Albany Yacht Club for fuel and ended the day at Waterford along the lock wall. A bunch of loopers were here as we all waited for the next morning opening. In the meantime, I walked around Peebles Island where I saw a dam, waterfall, and wildlife.Okumaya devam et

Schenectady NY
14 Haziran 2023, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ 🌧 70 °F
We spent the day going through locks E-2 through E-7 taking us from Waterford to Schenectady. The first five locks were all in a row, each being 35 feet high.
The owner of Donovan’s manages the marina at Schenectady and offered a discount if we stayed. We decided it was a good place to rest and clean up as the locks were really slimy.

The town offered old historic houses and was home to train manufacturing. There was a nice restaurant with wine tasting. You put in a card and select the wine and size of pour. We also went bowling with our new friends on Legacy.Okumaya devam et

Riverlink Park in Amsterdam
16 Haziran 2023, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ ☁️ 64 °F
Another day of locking and squeezing under bridges. Annette was a superstar helping us with lock lines.
We pulled onto the wall at Riverlink park and stayed the night. The town has a lovely pedestrian path with art. They have a Vietnam and 9-11 memorial. The 9-11 memorial has a beam from the World Trade Tower. The pedestrian path leads you to their culinary district which takes you to the foot of a castle that is now a hotel and restaurant.Okumaya devam et

Dinner at Amsterdam Castle
16 Haziran 2023, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ ☁️ 66 °F
I brought random costumes and accessories including Annette’s old Sofia crown. It was a perfect accessory to wear to dinner at the castle.

We all decided that having dinner there sounded fun. The food was delicious. The building covered in art. Upstairs was the Kennedy room. An area where President Kennedy visited and sat on the couch.Okumaya devam et

Canajoharie, the pot that washes itself
17 Haziran 2023, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ ☁️ 59 °F
Another day of locking. Rain was in the forecast so we wore rain gear. Thankfully it didn’t rain while we were underway.

We stayed on the wall in Canajoharie and walked to the old town to have lunch at an Irish Pub. The burgers were amazing. We continued our walk to a short trail to see the Pot that washes itself. It’s the name of the area given by the Native American tribe for the natural formation of flowing water that causes whirlpools. It was very pretty with small rapids and falls flowing into pools. It started raining so we left and stopped by the Arkel House for a tour.Okumaya devam et

Little Falls
18 Haziran 2023, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ ☁️ 64 °F
Little Falls is home to Lock 17, a 40.5 high lock, once the tallest lock in the world. It was quite the experience going through it.

The town itself was small but cute. Old factory buildings repurposed into antique stores and restaurants dotted the historic town.

Near the lock was Moss Island, which is great for rock climbing. Michael loved it!Okumaya devam et

Sylvan Beach
23 Haziran 2023, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ ⛅ 70 °F
Another day of locks with a sports theme. We arrived in Sylvan Beach on the free wall which was walking distance to the beach. Matt bought a water tube so one day we did a dinghy raft and went tubing.

The area also has an amusement park, but it’s only opened on weekends. It wasn’t very impressive.

The restaurants were good, especially Harpoon Eddie’s that offered live music.

Our final night we anchored out and rafted four boats. We enjoyed a nice sunset while listening to music from Harpoon Eddie’s.Okumaya devam et

We left the Erie Locks and entered the Oswego Locks. Minetto seemed like a nice place to stop for the night. The kids enjoyed fishing and Michael caught a fishing pole! The area is pretty with flowers, bird houses, and a walking path. There is a restroom and a $1/foot suggested donationOkumaya devam et
