May 12 – 28 Waiting in Waterford

Well, our wait for the New York Canal System to open, stretched way beyond the scheduled time. We thought when we came on the 11th that we would have a six day wait. We heard by the 16th that we would have to wait longer. The only locks to open open on the 17th were the Flight of […]
