July 11, 2013 Waterford (between lock #2 and #3)

Movement!  We've ceased being a stationary floating barge and moved.  10 feet.  Ok, so it wasn't much but it allowed me to loop the shore power cable under the shore side receptacle.  Other than that, we've moved nary an inch.  Even when boats are locking through the #3 lock a few hundred feet away, the discharge from the locks only very gently rocks us a few times.  We're so well planted I'm wondering if checking for roots might be in order.




Our path up to the park and points beyond.  We don't have the Fit anymore but that bike with the blue basket is a compact and very suitable replacement.










We may have to move the boat to Albany for some work if it can't be completed here in this remote area of Waterford.  Did I mention the park we're tied behind is the home of the Waterford Bocce Ball league?

Our only excitement lately was during the latest torrential downpour when the power screeched to a halt.  GFI's tripped and I finally isolated the problem (fly bridge110V receptacle) and we were back on line.

Meanwhile we wait to see the estimates and time lines and hope we can have things completed by the time the Canal re-opens some time late next week.
