September 27, 2007 - Middleport, NY



Today was overcast and damp for the most part. Makes having a pilothouse a nice thing as we were able to be warm and dry. Monarch finds itself in Middleport, NY this evening. We had planned to get to Medina but the liftgate bridge there is stuck half way up and unfortunately, the docks are on the other side of the bridge.

Carl and Marlene had their first experience with locking today at Lockport. There the two locks are adjacent and between the two locks we dropped over 50 feet. Have to say their performance was stellar.

We will wait to hear in the morning if the bridge is fixed. There are approximately 10 boats sitting here.
