Stormy Weather

Well, we are 24 hours away from getting onboard the boat, and things are looking interesting. Because of the horrible rains and flooding to the eastern part of New York, the Erie Canal has been closed down from Locks E-26 in Clyde, all the way to Lock E-2 near Albany, including Lock CS-1 on the Cayuga Seneca canal. Yes, this is the way we planned to go! Oh No!

We called Mid-Lakes Navigaiton, and they confirmed the report, but cheerfully told us that there was plenty of canal left to explore, and we may just have to delay our cruise to the east. They hope the canal will reopen before our week is up, but of course no one knows what the future has in store. The forecast for the week looks dry, so we can only keep our fingers crossed.

I have to get busy now looking up information for the other towns along the canal that I didn't expect to go to! Life is an adventure!
