June 9th, 2017


From the Catskill Marina we headed further up the Hudson to the Albany Yacht Club.  We are currently holding up in Albany until Sunday, June 11th.  Part of the Erie Canal has closed, due to flooding, until this afternoon and the Oswego canal is closed until later this weekend.  We don't want to leave yet, due to the many boats also waiting upstream from us.  It is a huge backlog of boats.  We are able to see those waiting at the locks by use of a lock cam.  Pretty cool!  Many of the loopers are stuck between the locks.  We are lucky to be at a very nice place, with very friendly people.



The Raymarine Vhf Radio isn't receiving or transmitting well anymore...it was sent to Raymarine for repair before leaving on the loop...
Pulled the Vhf radio that we had in the salon and installed it under the dash with the help of the electrical technician Elwood...


Received and Transmits fine now...
Thanks Elwood...
