We left Coeyman's Landing around 9:45 am. We were expecting a quick 2 hour trip north to Troy but due to the flood waters heading down stream our pace was at 6.8 knots not the 8.0 knots from the previous days. We had to hand steer quite a bit since our Auto Pilot and the Hudson River current were not getting along. The sun was hidden again behind the clouds. We arrived in Waterford at 2:00pm.
Conway RR Bridge and the Castleton-On-Hudson Bridge.
Dunn Memorial Bridge
Not sure what class of boat she is but, she has guns and not missiles so we placed her as a WW1 or WW2 vessel? She was docked on the wall in Albany.
Conrail/Amtrack RR Bridge
We are approaching the Troy lock and dam also known as the Federal Dam. The only lock on the Hudson not run by the NY canal system.
The dam for all the water to head down stream.
Canadian Geese and their Goslings.
The boat ahead of us entering the lock.

The boat behind us. The lock is still open.
The boat ahead of us.
The doors are closing.
Water is filling in at the front. See the waterline? That is how far we will rise in this lock.
Our view of the dam from our aft deck. We are now high enough to see it.
The lock doors are open and we can leave.
The lockmaster station.

Bridge before lock 2.
After we docked in the town of Waterford we headed out to look up close at lock 2. After that we headed out to the grocery store. By the time we made it back to the boat we were all soaking wet and laughing at our timing with the rain.
