During 2nd stage of delivery cruise of our "new to us" trawler we will be cruising the Erie Canal some time in early May. We're still working on the dates and wonder who has any experience with cruising the canal so early in the season. Am aware of budget cuts affecting lock operators but have read that canal should be open and ready for full season from a "reputable source". Preliminary plans are for leaving the Poughkeepsie area on or around May3-4 to the canal. Will be taking the Oswego Canal then to Lake Ontario for final leg to her new home in Wilson, NY. I'm figuring 7-9 days. Does this sound reasonable? Any suggestions, advice and/or editorial comments welcome. Thanks for anticipated answers!
