Troy to Mechanicsville

Last night my temporary crown popped out while eating some ribs.

I thought I might go back to Montreal to have the permanent crown installed because I was not certain how much longer the locks C1 to C4 would be closed

The next morning I put the temporary crown back on and it fitted.  I got an email stating the lock would be open.  I searched for a dentist in Troy who could re-cement the crown.  Found Brunswick Dental to do it.  The dentist was Russian.

I did some groceries at Walmart near the dentist.  

I got back to the dock at 12:30.  Another boat was coming up the river towards Federal Lock so I undocked and followed her.  

Made it through Federal Lock.  But I fell behind the other boat and I continued to Lock C1.  It seems they were waiting for my arrival. There were about six boats in the lock.

After the lift, we continued to C2.  

At C3, I saw one boat docked at Mechanicsville which was a free dock that looked attractive, but I decided it was only 3:30 so I continued.  But C3 would not take all of us and I missed the lock and decided to stay at Mechanicville.  Nice town.  Did more groceries at Price Choppers.

The dock had free power, water, pump-out and showers.
