Oswego, NY at Lake Ontario; July 6, 2011


We are on tied to the wall just above Lock 8 on the Oswego Canal.
Lake Ontario is less than a mile away.
 It's free to tie to a wall unless they have electricity.

We stretched out legs and walked down to get a better look at the lake.

The gates were open and light was green on Lock 5 this morning, so we went right in.
After the crew secures the lines, Captain takes over. This lock went down 18 feet.

Lock 6 was 3 . 5 miles away and we went down another 29 feet 

Lock 7 just started a schedule due to bridge work
so we tied up along the wall to wait for the 11:00am opening.
Down 14 . 5 more feet

It was interesting to walk around the deck and
see the lock from a different perspective.

You can grab a rope, pipe or ladder in this lock

If you look close, you can see Lollygag waiting by the wall 
on the up side of the gates

Lock masters saying, "Have a good trip."
