CODA: Into the Champlain Canal

13 June 2023

Fort Edward Yacht Basin

Fort Edward, New York

Fort Edward Yacht basin next door to the Scotties tissue factory (now owned by Irving Paper).

Marc-  Another day, another crew change.  John left this morning for Catskill where he had left his truck via taxi.  Thank you John very much for your help and company.  He was replaced by Charlie, a fellow boater from the Diamond Island Yacht Club.  We started off from Waterford after the crowd left.  Many went to go out the Erie Canal but 6 boats came here to Fort Edward on the Champlain Canal Route.  Almost every boat is flying a Looper flag.  This indicates that they are doing the Great Loop around the eastern United States via the East Coast, various rivers and lakes.  Charlie and I enjoyed dinner at a new restaurant in town: Dalias.
