Troy to Mechanicsville

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

I considered returning to Montreal to have the permanent crown installed, as I was uncertain how long the locks C1 to C4 would remain 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 returned to the dock at 12:30.  Another boat was approaching the river from the direction of Federal Lock, so I undocked and followed it.  

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 noticed a boat docked at Mechanicsville, a free dock that looked attractive. However, since it was only 3:30, I decided to continue.  However, C3 would not take all of us, and I missed the lock, so I decided to stay in Mechanicville.  Nice town.  Did more groceries at Price Choppers.

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