Opening Day

Today was opening day for the navigation season on the New York State Canals. I wasn't sure if I was going to go over to Waterford for the first lock through on the flight of locks as it was lightly raining. 

These days, the canal system exists mainly to provide free leisure activity to wealthy yacht owners. Luckily, I ended up catching an early tugboat exiting the flight of locks at the Mohawk River end before the leisure craft got that far along. The Seaway Jennifer was headed to the Oswego Canal.

Tomorrow is the Waterford Canalfest which this year will be hosting the Seneca Chief from the Buffalo Maritime Center. I may get more shots tomorrow but here are some from this morning.
