July 5-6, 2017
Thirty more miles of the Hudson and we were in New Baltimore at another
locals’ favorite marina. John went on a
bike ride but I took one look at the cliff behind the marina and headed to the
pool where all the locals seemed to congregate.
They had great grills for people to use so I fixed our favorite looping
dinner. Ribeye, mushrooms, grilled
onions, salad and rolls. the next morning John got the resident mechanic to change the transmission fluid and I consulted with the guy in the boat
next to ours about what we needed for fenders to protect the boat in the locks
through the Erie Canal. He had done the canal a number of times in a boat bigger than ours. I got two more big fenders and we finished off the
Hudson River, passing Albany, which really hasn’t done anything with its
waterfront, and through Troy Lock to Waterford on the Mohawk River. At Troy you can go north on the Champlain Canal to Lake Champlain or turn west towards Lake Ontario.

We met with my sister Laurie and her friend John who were passing through from Burlington VT
and had a great dinner in the small town. Laurie has those pictures.
