Last of the Erie Locks

Leaving Amsterdam we have lock 10 through 2  - 39 nm to finish
in one day

your random large mansion on the hill

Guard gate that gave me a small shower of canal water

down we go

Lock 2 last lock

Waterford free dock

The last 6 locks are quite a marvel and we traveled through them so fast it was hard to take pictures. They are the world's greatest series of high lift locks with a total lift of 169' we were on the down side so each lock took us down 40' . You approach this series through guard gates which are large mechanical dam like structures. One was opened for us treating me to a shower of canal water. Once you start you have to go on through to Waterford. Lock Three is still being repaired and instead of draining in stages we went down fast and a little turbulent.
