Only a Week Away

I'm still working out which bag and lenses combination works out best without having to constantly move everything around. It's a work in progress.

This morning I put the camera and 28-70mm and 85mm lenses in the Think Tank Speed Freak bag and walked around Waterford. We're eight days away from the scheduled opening of the canal season with the Canalfest taking place the following day. 

The flight of locks hasn't been flooded yet as work on some of the locks continues. The buoys for the Hudson River are stored on barges in the middle of the flight so all that has to happen in the next week.

Last year high water delayed the opening of the canal for weeks. There's no sign of anything like that this year.

The tugboat C. L. Churchill, shown in the foreground at Waterford Harbor, is the companion tug for the replica canal boat Seneca Chief which is also aground in the middle of the flight of locks and will be present for the Canalfest.
