to September 28 - define delay

Just as we were getting up and ready to start the trek west on the Erie Canal, we received word that the dam at Lock 13 needed repairs. It would be 5-6 days before the Locks at 12-14 would be operational.  A few days later it was revised to 2-3 weeks. It is now day 13. Next Thursday the locks will open up for three days and then shut down for the season. We will be there at 7 am.

The good: we are tied up at the free floating dock at the Waterford  NY Visitors Center. We have power, water, close by laundromat and supermarket. Last weekend I had opportunity to take a trip to Ontario to visit family and this weekend we are in Montreal to visit family. Life is good!

It is getting downright cold in the evenings all thru to the next morning.

Naples is beckoning.
