On Saturday morning June 4 around 8:30 am we departed Crescent Boat Club for Riverlink Park on the Erie Canal near Amsterdam NY. We made the 32 mile trip in about 7 hours going through 4 locks along the way. We followed another looper on a boat named Endeavor and it was a beautiful, sunshiny day with high winds. Parts of the trip reminded us of cruising on good ole Barkley Lake. We were happy to be greeted at our spot on the wall by at least 4 loopers who caught lines and helped secure us. We had docktails later and met the couple we had followed all day and several others. Always fun to share stories and get to know the others.
We were looking forward to plugging in but all the spots with power we taken when we arrived which gave us a good chance to try out our new inverter batteries. The inverter powered us all through the night and into the morning so everything seems to be working great! Jane even negotiated a free night's stay because we didn't have power.
