It is flooding again here at the junction of the Mohawk and Hudson Rivers. It has been raining for the last four days and the remnants of Hurricane Lee are just about to arrive. The forecast is for an additional 1-2 inches of rain in the next 36 hours. The visitor center where we were docked before Irene is under water again. The docks that the NY Canal Corporation fixed last week are at the top of their flotation and may tip over again. We're just hoping that the town doesn't flood again. Those poor people have been through so much. Many of them have just gotten the ruined flooring and damaged drywall and insulation out of their houses.
We remain safe and trapped. The rumor was that the the Federal Lock might open on Monday. With the new flooding I think that is unlikely. We settling in for our third week as guests of the the NY Canal Commission herein the Erie Canal.
