Lock 17 in Little Falls is the largest single step lock on the Erie Canal and drops 40 feet. It's eastern gate does not swing open but is pulled up by a dripping counter weight.
As we head east today the weather clears and we see some rays of sunshine. We shed our ski jackets and hats in the afternoon. We share several more locks with other boats heading south. Tonight we are In Scotia at Lock 8. It is so warm that we have dinner in the cockpit and watch the moon rise. There is a great biking trail behind us and lots of room for Ranger to run free.
Tomorrow we'll be in Waterford.
Back on the trail again
