Day #167 - Mohawk River

Day Pass #1 We left our "free dock" in Waterford about 9:30am and went right through Lock #2 which was about right up the river from us. Then we proceeded to lock through #3, #4, #5 and #6 and Guard House #2 and #1. We went up a total of 169 ft through all the locks. We are now 184 ft above sea level. That only took about 1 1/2 hrs. No one else was locking through with us either. We traveled about 5.4 miles today and have anchored in a beautiful spot with many Canadian Geese. It is quite warm and sunny today. The real reason why we stopped so early today was that our depth finder was not working on the bridge,which is where we do most of our driving. Thanks goodness Scot found a corroded power connection and repaired it! We decided to stay here in our scenic anchorage for lunch and for a quiet night behind an Island on the Mohawk River. We had to purchase a 10 day pass to cruise along the Erie Cana ($37.50) to the state of New York.
