Fonda - home of Henry Fonda Clan

Left Waterford this morning and entered lock 2 at 7:00 am. The weather was beautiful for a change and we made our way through 11 locks. The first ones are Flight of Five which are within a mile of each other. That took 2 hours. We went to Lock 12 and then on to Fonda and tied up for the night a Concrete Dock for commercial boats. We are beside a Trucking company with a Gated Frost Fence around their property. MacDonald's is within walking distance and we cannot get to it. Back at the Lock would have been a better choice as there is a few things there you can access. Skipper Bob told us it was like this but we chose not to believe him.

We got tied up just before a thunderstorm hit. It was a pleasant thought not to have to worry about he mast getting struck. :) We had a barbeque of Hamburgers and Stawberries for dessert.
Quiet night on board.

Keep breezing through those locks!!! Hope the storm front passes through and good weather again tomorrow. Really a downpour here tonight--no planting tomorrow. Love and a hug to you both Mom
