Father's Day in Waterford and Locks

Alan and Richard going for ride

Waterford waterfront dockage as we were leaving

We did decide to stay another day and I did buy pastries from the dutch lady.
 Richard gave Alan a ride on one of his canal boats through the lock and back. 
We departed Waterford around 9:30am and proceeded through the 12 locks on Lake Champlain canal. On the way we stopped at Fort Edwards and walked into town for a Stewart's ice cream. Because it was Father's day Stewart"s was giving dad's a free cone.   YePEE!!

We decided to tie up at Whitehall on their courtesy docks w/ electric instead of going through lock 12. We met Marge(the tourism director) and Dave on shore and they gave us a quick history of Whitehall. They were actually out walking their dog "Tonic".  They recommended all three restaurant's in town, but we chose the newest one to try out.

It was very good(japanese night) and we sent our compliments to the chef's and owners 
who came out to talk to us. They have only been opened for four weeks, but they are on the right track if all their meals were like the one we had. They are only open for dinner on Fri, Sat and Sunday nights with a different international theme each night. 

We had a very peaceful night sleep and we were the only cruising boat tied to the wall. 
Tomorrow, who knows where we will be.
