Whitehall Municipal Free Dock
Marc- We left at 07:00 this morning after contacting the Lock #3 Lock Operator and getting a green light. We then proceeded to pass through 8 locks in 40 miles. We decided to stay at the Free Dock since it provides 50 Amp. power and has newly redone bath facilities all in a Park setting. We made one run to the local market for bottled water and a stop for soft serve ice cream. Steph convinced me to cross the river and play some tennis on the nice town courts. She won both matches.
Notable event today was Steph bringing the boat into two Locks on her own.
The boats at the Municipal Dock tonight. The large power boat is 105 feet long and created a standing one foot wave in the canal when he came up to the lock we were in. It was strange to have the boat rise up a foot and then drop while holding on to the side lines in the Lock. The wave went over the forward lock gate. We strongly dislike them (-Steph).
Steph- Some interesting architectural features on old structures here. A remnant of Whitehall in its heyday, which was probably sometime in the 19th century. I thought it was interesting to see the past through this town that is pretty much an archaeological dig.
Whitehall is at the Southern tip of Lake Champlain and the Northern end of the Champlain Canal. Note how Lake George is only a mountain ridge away.
