Work-up to low 50's this morning. We plan to make it out of the Erie Canal and stop in Buffalo to step-up our mast. This leg will be 56 miles and 3 locks.
This is a picture of the canal going over a aqueduct. The canal is actually a bridge going over a waterfall!
Headed into our last set of locks in Lockport NY. These two locks are combined for a total of 50 feet of lift.
Made our way to the Niagara River, leaving the Erie Canal behind us. The current in the Niagara is really strong....took us a while against the current to make it to our last lock.
Exiting the Black Rock Lock we had to call for passage through a swing bridge and then a lift bridge.
We made it to Buffalo NY!! We tied up in Canal Side in the Buffalo river to step-up our mast and well deserved rest.
