Waterford to Brewerton, NY

We left Waterford on Monday morning and arrived in Brewerton, NY on Thursday. We stopped overnight in Amsterdam on the Mohawk river, Little Falls, and Sylvan Beach on the Erie Canal at the junction with Oneida Lake. I realized I did not take many pictures, likely because this is familiar territory and landscape.

We went through 21 locks in 3 days, and we were glad we had our friends Vickey and Fran help us through the locks. It was pouring on Tuesday while we were locking...not that much fun.

And the night in Amsterdam was not very restful: the wall tie-up is located 400 yards from a very busy railroad with an intersection right there...every train honks at the intersection, and it seems that they kept coming all night long. Felt like a train was rolling over you while you were trying to find your sleep: a night to remember!
The temperatures have been rather cool since we left the Hudson, particularly at night. Which was a good thing since we did not have a working generator and no A/C.
We are in Brewerton near Syracuse until Sunday as we have a wedding to attend. Our generator is repaired: new fresh water pump assembly. We are going to Oswego on Lake Ontario on Sunday. Our friends will depart Sunday evening. They have been a pleasure to have onboard, fun and very helpful. We are planning on crossing lake Ontario on Tuesday at this point, as Monday does not look favorable. So we should be on Canadian waters by Tuesday evening.
Until next time,
Annick & Michael cruising on Sirocco.
