June 16, 2013. Still above Lock #3 Waterford, NY

No change in location.  The latest collection of rumors and speculation have us staying here for 10 more days (best case) or possibly 2 weeks (worse case).  2 upstream  locks reportedly have some minor damage requiring a barge/crane for repairs.

We're rather fortunate to have been stranded here.  Incredibly attentive Canal employees have created a little oasis for us.  The Lock 3 yacht club, as one person referred to it, has a full complement of social gatherings so we aren't nearly as bad off as some of the folks stuck in the upper locks.

  1. What are you doing the whole time? Are you bored?

    1. Oddly no, we're not bored. We are with other boaters who are great fun and there is a steady list of things to fix and fiddle with. And town is a short walk down the road. The maintenance basin is a treasure trove of machinery and cool things to look at which the crew is quite happy to explain. How can one be bored with all of this going on?
