WATERFORD TO AMSTERDAM

June 16- We left Waterford at 8:30 am along with a couple of other Looper boats, Gemini and Not so Big. There was a sailboat from Owen Sound called Clarity that locked through with us as well, but we had to keep waiting for him to catch up. We locked through 10 locks and decided to call it a day and pulled into a place called Amsterdam, but Gemini decided to continue on and the sailboat stayed at the outside of the lock for the night. It was a nice place but the restaurant food was bad and we had trains every 15 minutes running through. Koby loved that we just had to step out of the boat and there was grass. We got out our chairs and sat under a tree in the shade and had docktails.

The first of ten locks today
