Legs 2 and 3 are West Point to Kingston, and then Kingston to Troy to lower the boat for clear passage through the Erie Canal.
Starting below, leaving West Point,
passing Buchanan 12,
HR Otter,
looking back toward Catskill,
meeting
Craig Eric Reinauer,
in awe in Coeymans seeing Eli (which I first misread as ELF) and
Ocean Tower,
passing port of Albany and BBC Vela,
seeing Slater in the morning light, and finally
after tying up at Troy, reconfiguring the boat for the Erie Canal.
Leg 4 starts at noon today as we head for a night in Amsterdam.

Rod Serling Died June 28, 1975.
-You entered the Twilight Zone:
Port of Albany’s AIS VTS is the Twilight Zone!
There’s No more tanker, or barge traffic on their AIS VTS.
There’s nothing to see here, just move along!
