Glen Moore,

afternoon.

Erie Canal Lock E-13 is on schedule to temporarily re-open today at noon.

Didn't happen.  That is what the Notice to Mariners stated, but isn't the
case.

We went through locks 2 - 10 on 10/3, the date of the posted noon opening.
The lockmaster at 10 stated that there was a rumor that the locks were
opening at noon.  I explained that there was a Notice stating such.  He
said he and his boss never heard of it.

He did tell us that lock 11 was closed.  He was right on that point.
There
has never been a notice about that.

We sit in Amsterdam awaiting to hear from the Canal Corp.
