We left the YFN at the high side of Lock E-16 and turned back west for the YC at Utica.

Lock E-17 dumping for us

We are 363 ft above sea level at the high side of Lock E-17. This lock lifts us over 40 ft.

We are underway from Utica harbor Lock with the YC at sunrise.

The approach to Little Falls and Lock E-17

This is usually a nice run, but if the river is moving, the rock walls can seem awfully close and menacing. When they lower one of the gates above Lock E-17 it can be real tricky shooting through the open one. This was one of those nice runs.
