Albany, New York 5/13/08

Hello All

We're in Albany, having gone through 10 locks today. Well actually, we're about 10 miles south of Albany at a marina with experts in electronics. Our compass is out and will need to be replaced. They will take care of it tomorrow and the we'll move the boat back to the Albany Yacht Club.

The locks went pretty well today - we only made fools of ourselves once. One out of ten isn't bad. Again, our deck is so high, it is difficult to reach what we need to reach. But we made it fine. We have a lot of cleaning up to do before we head home - there is mud and gunk everywhere from the locks.

I'm attaching a few pics - note the really dumb goose nesting on rocks. Also, if you look at the pic of Winter Harbor Marina from my last post, you'll notice that the price of fuel is blank on their sign. I don't think they want to advertise almost $5 per gallon for diesel.

See you out there somewhere . . .
