7/24/15 Schenectady to Waterford, NY
Sculling teams practicing behind Samba

Jen coiling lines like a sailor (?)












Boy is that a long way up!






We saw some beautiful waterfalls today
We had an opportunity to open up Samba & let her run today













A beautiful double suspension bridge we passed under

The master guard gate for the Erie flight locks is up to let us
through after a 30 minute wait for some other boats

The same gate after we passed through it
In the Erie flight locks, each of the 5 locks has a 34' drop.
Notice the next lock beyond the one we are in.
 



Jim & Hendrix waiting on Samba while the lockmaster
worked on his electrical problems for 45 minutes.

The Waterford courthouse as we passed by on the Erie Canal.

Lunch at Don & John's in Waterford


Samba's slip in Waterford, NY










We had a heavy downpour with thunder, lightening & hail














An amazing rib dinner delivered to Samba by Bubba himself








Jim went a little heavy on the sauce
