Early Monday August 17Th, we rose to mass evacuation. All the boats on the docks were heading out. We joined the foray and headed down the Hudson River to the Troy Lock. This was our last lock of the journey, we had traversed a total of 60 locks elevated a total of 420 feet and lowered back to sea level. We would highly recommend the Erie Canal and trying this wonderful system. There are many places to visit and the scenery is spectacular.
Our destination was Albany, NY where we would spend a couple of days. Dick has an Aunt Barbara that lives near Albany and we made plans to get together. We spent 2 wonderful days with her exploring Albany and its history. Dick's aunt took us all around Albany and to her home. We went to a lovely restaurant for an Italian dinner together. Our second day was filled with visiting the museum where they had a 9/11 memorial and pictures of New York during the 1920's., We toured the Plaza and the Capital with its million dollar staircase. We topped it off with a trolley tour around Albany and all we can say is Thank you so much Aunt Barbara for the wonderful time!!

Early Wednesday morning we were off the dock and spent the next day in the Schodack Creek anchorage. It's a very good protected anchorage, which we definitely needed because in the afternoon there were thunderstorms because of the high humidity and temperatures. It was a great day to just sit back and relax.
