| Made it through Lock 15 today. 7 more locks before getting to Oneida Lake |
 |
| Anchored around the corner from Lock 16 The excited lock master called us on the radio and told us we were going the wrong way and that it was only 4 feet. We explained our shallow draft and anchorage plan and thanked him for looking out for us. He laughed and told us to have fun. Not a lot of people anchor out. |

| The Locks are interesting to read about. Check out this site for info on individual locks. |
 |
| So far, the Erie Canal has been entirely the Mohawk River. It feels isolated and is quiet. The thick tree covered hills are such a pleasant change. There are occasional houses and scattered towns, but the pace is slow. Train tracks follow alongside and rumble by every now and then. |
 |
| This is where we anchored last night (6-12-11.) We expect artificial channel tomorrow - separate from the main river. We will need to tie up to docks at night rather than anchor. The adventure continues. |
