Waterford, New York

We traveled 38 NM today through Albany then stopped over at Troy, NY as the Troy Lock was temporarily closed.  We enjoyed a quick tour of the historic city. We then went through the Troy Federal Lock which raised us up 15'. We docked at the Waterford Canal Welcome Visitor Center at Lock #2 (which begins the long string of Erie Canal Locks).  We rented a car and went into Albany for a few hours to run errands and eat. We were able to go to Lock 2 Park and see the lock via land. Tomorrow we will go through this historical lock along with at least 5 other locks.
