So - we made it!! We shoved off at 9:05 a.m. from Saugerties. Our first mile stone was the Federal Lock in Troy with an arrival time of 11:25 a.m. Next , was Waterford when we entered the Erie Canal and climbed (The Flight of Five). They are the world's greatest series of high lift locks. The total lift is 169 feet, which is twice as much as the total lift from sea-level to the summit of the Panama Canal. After that we made some time as we passed under the twin bridges of the Northway in route to our final destination for the evening at Schenectady Yacht Club. Docking time for the night was 3:20. We definitely worked up an appetate and were ready to chill on the dock with a ham dinner.
Have a wonderful evening and we will talk to you all tomorrow night. Our goal is to end in Little Falls.
