August 25th Thursday and New Horizon is leaving Mechanicville heading South to Riverview Marine Services which is just off the Hudson up the Catskills Creek.
The wall in the background is where we spent the night just after Lock 3. Nandad finally found a pub that was open and we had a delicious late lunch. A sports bar called End Zone so it was fun to watch some of the horse racing at Saratoga Race Course on TV.
NH had company today for our last locks. This picture captures Lock 1 which marks the beginning of Lake Champlain Canal.
Nandad looking a little stressed at Lock 1. The Federal Lock at Troy marks River Mile 147.75. We are officially on our return journey heading down the Hudson to New York City. What a great journey.
The dam right beside the Lock 1 - an impressive sight and Nana’s bike in the foreground.
Riverview Marine Services is River Mile 107.3. Tomorrow we will cruise to Riverfront Marina which is River Mile 56.0. We will spend the night there before heading into the big City. We have booked two nights at Liberty Landing - Nana wants to visit Ellis Island and two nights at One 15 Brooklyn so we can have a different view of the City. We are also looking forward to the Nevins joining us again for a few magical days.
