CODA : More boat chores / maintenance.
22 May 2025
Waterford Visitors Center free docks, Waterford, Erie Canal, New York
This little bird (maybe an oriole?) came to visit me in the morning and stayed around Coda all day even when I was cleaning and refinishing some teak trim.
Marc- Not much new to report. The navigation buoys have been replaced in the Hudson River as far as Lock 5. That leaves about 6 more locks to go since there is no lock #10. There is still no definite start date. Maybe Monday both Erie (partially) and Champlain will open.
The morning warmed up enough to work outdoors even though it was overcast. I was able to clean the teak trim and then I had time to get 2 coats of polyurethane on before it rained. Luckily I used super fast drying polyurethane.
I need a few supplies at the hardware store. It's 2 miles away down the old Champlain Canal trail. Very nice walk with lots of birds singing a flowers along the canal. The only hard part was walking across the busy State highway. The road is only 2 lanes, and there is a crosswalk, but the drivers don't stop even when you are in the crosswalk and there is plenty of traffic. Eventually a light turn red up the street creating a gap to cross.
Flowers all along the old Champlain Canal.
Od Champlain Canal locks.
Really nice smelling wildflowers.
