Troy, NY to Lake Champlain

Troy, NY to Lake Champlain

After Federal Lock, we spent the night at Waterford, NY which has a free dock ($10 if you want electricity). There is a farmers market right at the dock each Sunday and the local super market will let you take their carts to the dock (they collect them once a week). Waterford is where the Erie Canal begins.

The next morning,instead of heading to the first lock on the Erie Canal, we went back to the Hudson and headed north to the Champlain Canal.

 We said goodbye to Carol and Neil in Orwell, VT at Chipman Point Marina. And today, we are sitting in the rain at Westport Marina, on the New York side of the lake, doing laundry and catching up on this blog.
