There are two guard gates protecting the 5 stair locks from flooding. These locks are close together and you no sooner finish one and exit when you are entering the next lock. They lower you and your boat almost 200 feet to the Waterford/Troy area.
Waterford is filled with boats heading south. Yes there are all sorts of sailboats and plenty of French Canadian skippers speaking lots of French. I was happy to practice speaking with them today. Steve and I walked Ranger over the bridge to Troy this afternoon after finishing up our laundry at a really nice near-bye laundromat. They like dogs here and the harbormaster brought over a doggie biscuit as soon as we tied off at the dock.
Tomorrow we step the mast at Hop-O-Nose and then it's down to NYC.
