Clyde

Today was another cruise on the Erie Canal. We went through five locks today. We ended pretty early as there was no other place to stop between Clyde and Cayuga Lake.  

Bridge in Fairport. This is notable in that the slowest boat with a 15 HP motor and tiny prop got chastised for too much wake. The speed limit is 5 MPH, we were probably doing 5 Knots. This boat can't make a wake.

Downstream side of Lock 27. The lock is on the right and the water bypass is on the left.

We saw many types of birds. One of the more distinct ones is the heron. We saw a few eagles, a zillion geese and ducks among others.

Docked in Clyde. This is a small dock, about enough for four boats, by a park called Lauraville Landing.

Another view showing how high the dock wall was.

A view from the overpass bringing up to the town center of Clyde.

We ate at a locals bar in Clyde. There weren't many choices. It was a friendly place that did not include any craft beers. The park had a rest room and shore power but no showers.
