This forum is wonderful, I just have to start this thread by saying! ...I have been helped so much and have gleaned a "boatful" of useful information.
Our boat is now in a repair yard on the hard and is getting some rudder post etc work done in the Albany NY area on the HUDSON RIVER in NY state.
The work is slated to be completed to coincide wth the opening of the last two remaining locks that are still closed along the eastern side of the Erie Canal that we will need to negotiate to bring the boat from Albany to Ithaca on Cayuga Lake of the Finger Lakes here in NY state.
These two final locks on the re-opening schedule are slated to open AUG 7th.
We would like a captain or someone familiar with these first locks on the Erie (Hudson River junction) and Erie Canal travel overall to accompany us when we leave Albany and negotiate the first two days of locks.
We hope to leave the yard on August 7th or right after and as close to Aug 7th as possible. Assume 2 days but it could be 3 days. Thank you for your interest.
