We took off for lock 17 before the other boats, so that we could lock down first. This is the biggest drop on the Erie (40 feet) and has a guillotine style lift door on the eastern side of the lock. You get wet going under it!
On the glassy water, we saw hundreds of water bugs dancing on the surface. At St. Johnsonville Redneck Marina, we stopped for 30 gallons of fuel. Since prices are much lower in NJ, we will fill our tanks later.
At Canajoharie, we were the first boat to tie up on the small dock.
After hooking up the AC, we walked in to town for dinner at Mercato's, one of the local Italian restaurants. It was very warm inside (no AC) and there was only one other couple there. The food was good, and there were enough leftovers for both of us to have another meal tomorrow.
Ron walked across the bridge (away from town) to Stewarts to pick up ice cream and a few groceries. We remember Stewart's Ice Cream from our trip up the Hudson in 2013.
