As I said in my earlier email today, the weather is not cooperating with
the reopening of the Erie Canal.  This time they are taking absolutely NO
chances at all.  Here is the official word:

CANAL SYSTEM UPDATE  Mariners are advised that, in response to updated
river stage forecasts by the National Weather Service, the Canal
Corporation may remove lower gates of movable dams, in the Mohawk River
section of the Erie Canal, from Lock E-8 to Lock E-15, at noon on Thursday,
June 27, 2013.
