June 18, 2013 Waterford Visitor Center

We had moved from the Waterford Visitor Center on June 13 up to the Maintenance basin above lock #3.

Today (Monday June 17 ) the Canal officials decided we should all return to the Waterford Visitor Center since most of the flooding has subsided and they need to move some of the tugs and barges serving as our temporary docks.  So around 2pm we took in our lines and bid farewell to our familiar tug/dock and headed over to lock #3.










We locked through #3 and then headed the quarter mile to lock #2.

Just as we emerged from lock #2 in front of the Visitors Center docks (on the left), it began to pour.  Fitting, as it was raining when we first left the Visitor Center on Thursday, June 13. 











Thanks Dave for getting soaked and helping us all get tied up to the dock!











Latest word is we will be here for at least another week as the locks upstream undergo repairs.
