Greetings all, We were getting ready to slowly transit the eastern section of the Erie Canal when we learned from a lock master that the locks are all closed east of Clyde (Locks E2-E27). Also the Oswego canal(Locks 1-8) and Lock CS1 of the Cayuga-Seneca. This information was not covered in local media here in western NY and is the result of the recent tropical rains. For more information go to _http://www.canals.ny.gov/news/notices/index.shtml_ (http://www.canals.ny.gov/news/notices/index.shtml) No estimate reopening time is offered. Rick Bolton "Dark Star"
