I have arrived in the Albany area and have finally found a nice place to paddle. In Rexford, at the aqueduct, there is a beautiful section of river. It is quite calm compared to the St. Lawrence, even with a bit of motorboat traffic. Nothing like having a "Salty" chasing you down the length of the St. Lawrence River. Nevertheless, I did manage to sneak in a one hour paddle on the Canal.

And yes, I slowed down two or three times to wipe the sweat from my eyes or to take in the scenery. [I passed below a train bridge *just* as a train was coming through! What fun!!] I plan on paddling at the Wednesday night time trial in a few days. Stay tuned ...
