Steamboat Festival in Waterford, N. Y.

We managed to see a little bit of the steamboat festival in Waterford before we left. These lovely wood burning boats came from all around the area to show off their stuff. Pretty nice little boats.

The boats are all lined up on the dock. More were to arrive on Sat.

Mark is standing down river from the last Erie lock.

Hop-O-Nose Marina

We made it to Hop-O-Nose Marina at 3pm today. We spent the night in Waterford because this whole area had severe thunderstorm warnings and tornado warnings. We were all nicely tied up on the wall in Waterford when a big down pour of rain rolled in.

Our masts will be stepped tomorrow (Sunday) and we’ll spend a bit of time making a few needed repairs. Hoping to head down the Hudson River starting on July 5. Here are a bunch of photos I’ve taken over the past week.

Lovely champagne courtesy of the Two Rivers board.

As promised, Mark’s attempt at gymnastics. I think Steven needs to give Mark some pointers.

Exiting one of the locks and hesding right under a train bridge.

Lock 17 at Little Falls is the big one, a drop of over 40 ft.

Schenectady Yacht Club stop over

It’s been a long few days on the Erie Canal with lots of mechanical issues (including running out of diesel in the starboard tank). We have now cleared 23 locks and have 7 more on the Erie Canal and one federal lock on the Hudson River. We should be at Hop’onose Marina in Catskills by end of day Friday, July 1.
