June 24 - our first lock of the summer

We went through the Troy lock today just above Albany, NY.  This is the first of many.  Patti and I learned that we haven't forgotten how to do it.  She drives the boat into the lock and I grab lines (and give orders).  Actually I don't get to give orders as much as "suggestions", especially if we're going to make through the next hundred or so locks.
Anyway, we're traveling with friends we met in 2006, Don and Connie Rutch.  They have a boat just like our Monk and we cruised together from Kingston, NY three days ago to where we are now in Waterford, NY at the start of  the Erie Canal. Waterford has a free dock and we're staying here for two nights.  Free is good.
