Friday, August 14 we got up at the crack of dawn and were off the docks in Amsterdam by 6:00 am. We were not alone. We usually never leave that early but we all wanted to get a space on the docks in Waterford. The trip was uneventful and upon leaving the last lock on the Erie canal we noticed the Waterford docks were packed.The 54' Ocean Alexander and ourselves squeezed into the last 2 spaces with electric. Luckily we had it for the next 3 days because the temperature went into the 90's with high humidity. 
We met Jim,Sharon and, cute as a button, their granddaughter Kayla. We all went to dinner on Saturday and Kayla was a very well behaved little gal.
Decided to stock up on much needed food so started to walk to the food store. This place is very unique for the supermarket lets you take the carts across the bridge to the marina and they pick them up. Well as we started out the guy 
picking up the wagons offered us a ride and we gracefully jumped into his truck. Had a lot of groceries and needed some wine which they don't sell so as we were asking where a lovely gal offered to take our groceries and us to the package. Again we jumped into her car. Bought a nice stock of wine which we gave her 1 bottle for her efforts and she delivered us right back to the marina.

On Sunday the farmers market set up right outside the Summer wind and again we shopped to our hearts content.
Our next stop was to be Albany so we will let you digest this and continue another day.
