Course: St. Johnsbury to Amsterdam
Distance travelled on the water: 22.86
Distance travelled by GPS: 30.1 ( the current really gave us a lift)
Total miles travelled: 670
Weather: sun and more sun
Seas: non existent, its a river although the current around the dams and locks is interesting
We have turned around. And while that has its negative side, we realize it is really the best option. The closure of the Erie Canal has made this decision for us as well as dozens of other loopers. So back to Waterford tomorrow and then north to see what Lake Champlain offers.
!!!!!!Kath Greenleaf, if you are reading this, CALL US. We need you to come sooner than later and we hope you still like us well enough to spend a few days or a week.
PM is working on appraisals still as I write this which is why there are no pithy comment in the blog today. I am not sure she really has much to say right now as reviewing appraisals seems to take the humor out of her , for awhile anyway.
YEA, we had no issues with the locks today. The only concern is the engine seems to want to stall still so I am resetting the idle higher to around 700, which I think is about right. It has been at 500 or less and any gear change seems to strain the engine just enough to stall it at critical times. There is an RPM for idle somewhere on the engine plate and after the engine room cools a bit, I will look in the likely places for this.
